PublicArtCommission | 2007-03-28 | 4 | Ms. Burnett suggested creating a cultural arts center to attract more artists and attention to the art and culture of Alameda. The Commission concurred that it would be a good idea to create such a place. It was suggested by a citizen who attended the meeting that several art locations in addition to a cultural arts center would make it easier for the community to access the public art. Commissioner Lee likes the idea of a cultural arts center in that it brings artists and people of the community together allowing them to meet, network and get to know each other. It was suggested that in addition to being prestigious and supportive, having a cultural arts center would provide valuable gallery space for visual arts such as paintings and photography. It was suggested that gallery and meeting space be provided in several City-owned buildings such as the Veteran's Hall and City Hall. It was asked if along with its use as a permit center, the Carnegie building could be used for gallery space. Ms. Woodbury responded by saying a portion of the building could be used as gallery space. General consensus was that this would be very beneficial to the artists and community. 6. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS: 7. ADJOURNMENT: Meeting adjourned at 8:52 pm Respectfully submitted, Douglas Vu, Secretary Public Art Commission | PublicArtCommission/2007-03-28.pdf |
