Arts and culture plan (Arts Blueprint)

the 27 arts uh recommended budget builds on these ongoing conversations that we have about how to implement the builder arts blueprint

by the city's selection as the future host of the Sundance Film Festival and the recently completed Boulder Arts Blueprint.

one of the values that's represented in the arts blueprint is trying to make access to the arts and rehearsal space and performance space more affordable

This is a truly community benefit part of the art blue arts blueprint uh that the city uh established

The arts blueprint was developed with input from nearly 2,000 community members.

The Arts Blueprint is very intentionally aligned with the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan update.

This is a roadmap for the city and the community for the next 10 years

our new cultural plan, the Boulder Arts Blueprint you'll know where Boulder's creative community is headed for the next decade

Boulder Arts Blueprint Report and Recommendations Staff Time: 20 Min

The Boulder Arts blueprint are reflective of Boulder's commitment to building a welcoming creative community

This year during Boulder Arts Week, Boulder also launches the Boulder Arts Blueprint, a long-term strategic plan

It's currently on page 59. It is actually, not in the executive summary.

When we're looking at the arts blueprint, it's all structured around this SER framework

My motion is that the Commission Approve. B. the substantial content. of the main document of the Arts Blueprint

in March, we will have the comprehensive plan, the vote on the arts blueprint, some general operating things

I just wanted to point out our dates for the Boulder Arts Blueprint.

The Gut program this year was influenced by the Boulder Arts Blueprint feedback, as well as the City's Racial Equity Toolkit

We're ready for the Boulder Arts Blueprint. We have a half an hour for you guys.

What is the Arts Blueprint? Our timeline, our progress to date

We are now gonna move into Boulder Arts Blueprint Phase 2, I'm very excited to say.

Listed a few of those, talked a lot about those economic development, conversations, certainly the arts blueprint, work forward.

That is reflective of anticipating having an arts blueprint that guides some of those funding decisions.

especially thinking ahead of the Arts Blueprint, which will be, finalized in Q1 of next year.

preparation for finalization and implementation of the arts blueprint in early 2026

trying to figure out how do we program these dollars based on the Boulder Arts Blueprint that was just getting stood up in 2025

preparation for implementation of the arts blueprint in early 2026. $45,000 onetime funding for the arts blueprint.

all of the feedback from the Arts Blueprint, like, that's been integrated into the recommendations this year

and this blueprint and these summaries, and this information that you'll see both from me

we wanted to give you an update on the builder arts blueprint before

I just skipped right over it. Bulgar arts blueprint.

I don't know that I see this one as sort of especially outside of the arts blueprint

This will translate highlevel policies from the comprehensive plan into concrete tactics and work plans for our office.

I am so excited to share a very brief three slide update on the Boulder Arts Blueprint.

implementing strategies that are outlined in the Boulder Arts Blueprint

updating the city's approach for supporting arts and culture in the Boulder Arts Blueprint.

it's going to feed into the boulder the arts blueprint

this does provide insights to inform the development of the boulder. Arts blueprint.

integrate dedicated support for the indigenous community within the Boulder arts blueprint directly in relation to the land acknowledgement

you know that just about our community cultural plan, and who our grants what our Grant program is and who it serves

toward a subset of the community cultural plan, which is a citywide plan or blueprint

And then my 3rd question is about the Boulder Arts blueprint project.

they're going to do a similar effort around the arts blueprint to create a strategy over the next few years.

when we asked that question in 2015, in the original cultural plan.

the blueprint is the place where we get to have that kind of input.

There's also going to be a boulder arts blueprint. That's a strategy document we produce next year.

So this is going to take the place of the culture plan.

wanted to mention the Boulder Arts blueprint tracks along the same type of scope as the commercial areas blueprint.

we're going to be updating that Community cultural plan and so it would just be helpful

for the adoption of the update to the cultural plan in 2025

The new cultural plan was expected to have been completed this year to inform the use of the arts, culture and heritage tax funds

We hope you become actively involved in the community process to determine how to spend these tax revenues over the next 20 years.

and the new cultural plan process we advocate for this continued support from the general fund

contingent on the update of the community cultural plan which will lean on that work over the next

knowing that the arts and culture office is planning on performing a cultural Plan update over the next year

We need to get this cultural plan update in place

Some other funding. You'll see there is the cultural plan update.

The Boulder Arts blueprint and the creative neighborhood projects are still ongoing.

So getting away from Gap year to really bridge that year between the end of our cultural plan

We want to do downtown kind of leads into the cultural plan updates

So we're in the process now of creating that cultural plan update.

We have kind of a gap year in 2,025. So the cultural plan expires in 2,024. So we don't really have that guiding light

we're going to be calling it a blueprint, the boulder blueprint for the next 1920 years.

All of the work that we did will be in in preference practice to hopefully a community cultural plan.

The rubric and our community cultural plan also speak to the fair and equitable distribution of funds.

we wanted to make sure that this all of this research we had moves into the other findings for the cultural plan

to answer your first question about um how this fits in with the cultural plan

Since we have the 2 a funding and the cultural plan. Sun setting right closing this year.

as we like work on a new cultural plan to look at other fund like a Cfd funding

that the cultural plan is a lot is sun setting

We acknowledge that the community cultural plan. It's the time horizon planning horizon of that work ends this year

that'll be envisioned as an update of the community cultural plan over the next year and a half

We are working to scope an update to the community cultural plan and continue engage over the community

that's something that the cultural plan playwright. So maybe, just generally speaking, yeah.

Do we have any questions related to the cultural plan? Or do we want to refer them to that?

we have some setting community cultural plan. But a great opportunity to reimagine where we're going when it comes to what this community wants

And then cultural plan next steps, figuring out next year what and how we're going to do things.

So I'm gonna pause for a second to make sure that we all feel good about the cultural plan and where we come from.

is part of the principles in the cultural plan about the sustainability of these organizations.

in the cultural plan. We are using this funding to support cultural organizations and their missions that support the community.

So it's it's more than the encouragement. But less than the community cultural plan.

You can also say that it doesn't meet some of the aspects of the cultural plan as well.

Cultural plan is what people want to see here and how they want to project holder into the world

the cultural plan that exists now um was had deep Community inquiry and we follow that

over the course of the first nine years of the cultural plan um there have been some things

we know there's a new cultural plan coming we know there's an opportunity for us to collaborate

They're looking to update the community cultural plan

because the cultural plan is expiring. We need to sort of really dive in deep.

the Arts and Culture Work group is looking to update their cultural plan

the community cultural plan is also relevant in this discussion it was adopted in 2015 and outlines Community priorities

this input aligns with the boulder comprehensive plan North Boulder sub-community plan and cultural plan

which relate to arts and culture as well as the associated 2015 Community cultural plan

again, with our arts and culture work group, the community cultural plan

I would love your help with understanding the bread from trail, from the cultural plan to the success

these tenants on the cornerstone of the older cultural plan.

This addresses some of the goals on the cultural plan, which is the question of moving the arts

The whole development of the Grants program, the roll out of the community cultural plan, your service on boards.

And then we went from there, you and I to starting to implement the cultural plan

Address the community priorities in the cultural plan.

So those are the policies related to arts and culture.

So this was adopted by Council in 2,015. I won't read all of these, but it outlines community priorities around boulders, culture and creative economy.

Obviously, you guys are familiar with the community cultural plan that established novo as an arts district

the cultural plan did have funding targets for 2018 2021 and 2024

I'd say that we turn to the community cultural plan which would it's its Horizon is coming up at the end of this year

that the cultural plan does have something to say about this, that artists, arts, leaders should also be government leaders

I would just add a little flavor to the what set in the cultural plan is that what the community really asked for

When I join the Commission in 2,016, the cultural plan is fairly new, right or the just in past.

through the community cultural plan looking at updating those funding targets based on inflation

Compares in terms of the targets within the community cultural plan

thank you for funding the amounts specified in the 2016 Community cultural plan that the Arts need more funding

Let's do a community cultural plan update because it's time for that right

it's almost time to update the community cultural plan, and in that it's an opportunity

the funding for arts and culture is driven by the community cultural plan or CCP which was accepted by Council

we felt um fully met cultural plan recommendations and so the um proposals that you see for public art

when we were taking a look at uh the cultural plan recommendations and uh what that meant for the grants program

since the cultural plan was written it has really expanded and so the other thing that we're thinking about

all of the work in the community cultural plan around the work the workforce of individual artists in our community

the community cultural plan has a goal by this phase in the cultural plans final phase to have a budget of over two million dollars

to implement the community cultural plan city council enthusiastically adopted the cultural plan in 2015

the current budget proposal is 1 million short sorry 1 million below funding recommended by the community cultural plan

that's a pretty big gap from the cultural plan i believe around a quarter of a million dollars

the city of boulder community cultural plan was passed unanimously by city council during the research portion

as you know the city's community cultural plan will be updated in the early years of the tax

and for the upcoming update or of your own cultural plan in 2023 and 2024

when we approved the city's first Community cultural plan

this is the time to invest in Boulders cultural resources and to recommit to the cultural plan

the importance of building Social Capital as a step toward recovery was an underpinning of the community cultural plan

they're doing what we've asked them to do and what the cultural plan recommends

THE COMMUNITY CULTURAL PLAN ALSO MADE RECOMMENDATIONS WITH REGARD TO THE UTILIZATION OF SPECIFICALLY THE THEATER

recommended improvements to the legislative intent language to align with the cultural plan

it's an important step that was recommended in the cultural plan

during the Cultural Plan process as in 2015 as the Arts Commission worked through redesigning the grants program

the community cultural plan that we adopted in 2015 would say that this is contrary to the community cultural plan

since we adopted the community cultural plan at the end of 2015 our funding for the Arts has increased significantly
