It works toward this goal by: 1. Celebrating the diversity of the Redwood City Community. 2. Encouraging exceptional quality and excellence in programs. 3. Supporting community building through cultural activities. 4. Recognizing that art, in all its forms, including visual, dramatic, music, dance, film, literature or other artistic expression, is essential to a vital community. The powers and duties of the Civic Cultural Commission are found in Sec. 2.113 of the Code. Duties include recommendations to City Council or City Manager regarding: • The establishment of programs stimulating and encouraging the development and maintenance of the performing and visual arts in the City and to review periodically such programs as are so established; • The establishment of programs memorializing or giving recognition to matters of cultural significance in the City and to review periodically such programs as are so established; • The removal, relocation, or alteration of existing works of art or items of cultural significance in the possession of the city; • The acquisition by the City of any work of art or item of cultural significance and the proposed location thereof; • The aesthetics of the design and site development of any building, monument, or other structure to be constructed or acquired by the City; • Any matter affecting the beauty and culture of the City. The Civic Cultural Commission is responsible for the review and recommendation of small and large grants (for a total of $58,000 a year) to dozens of local non-profit arts organizations. Further, the Commission manages and hosts the annual youth Art Contest where over 1,800 Redwood City school children in K-8th grade participate. The Civic Cultural Commission also created the City’s first Public Art Master Plan in 2013. The Public Arts Master Plan reflects the goals of the Cultural Element within the City’s 2010 General Plan where public art is recognized as a means for promoting vibrancy, defining cultural uniqueness, supporting economic development, building community, and improving the quality of life for those that live, work and play here. The General Plan sets for the goal that “Redwood City is the place on the Peninsula to experience and enjoy visual, performing arts, and cultural events by 2030”. The Plan further states that “Culture and the arts inspire civic pride, provides opportunities for expression and sharing, and serves as a catalytic component of the Downtown economy”. The purpose of the Public Arts Master Plan serves as a guide when considering aspects of public art such as: Criteria for the selection and prioritization of potential sites for both public and private art projects. Procedures for the review and selection of art. Procedures for the removal of art. The Civic Cultural Commission also endorsed and recommended the update to the original plan by creating a new Public Art Master Vision. The results of that effort are reflected in this new comprehensive living document that has been created.8.A. - Page 62
