Evening, friends. If you would like to speak during public comment, please let me know in the chat.

Commissioners also discussed matters related to eligibility for the certificate program, including whether candidates and any arts organization they work for should reside in the City of Boulder. Samba Colorado has left its headquarters in Boulder, but some programming happens in the city. Ransom lives in Denver but said she intends to work with Boulder arts organizations in the future. Commissioners had multiple opinions about whether a Denver-based candidate working for a Denver-based arts organization should be eligible. Chasansky explained the Cultural Plan allows for artists from other jurisdictions to be supported by BAC arts grants.

Second adjustment: Katsarelis noted that the recordings will be posted to a website and offered to instructors and organizations as a teaching tool. McCormick asked whether Pro Musica still planned to collaborate with Muse or other “human outreach” as that was a key reason their grant proposal was approved for teaching and performing with children from Title 1 schools. Katsarelis said Pro Musica will work with the Muse program as part of its outreach to underserved populations. She noted that technology does provide an equity element in terms of access. Performances planned at Columbine Elementary will feature selections by new female and BIPOC composers to retain a diversity component alongside video imagery promoting musical education.

"Otherwise were qualified for the grants as advertised and allowable by the arts commission."

Proposed edit: multiple opinions about whether a Denver-based candidate working for a Denver-based arts organization THAT IS OTHERWISE ELIGIBLE PER BAC GRANTING GUIDELINES should be eligible. Chasansky

got it!

“Qualitative evaluation showed 76 tickets sold, 10 scholarship tickets, and 50 presenter and guest attendants.”

Commissioners: I just heard from Yaelaed. They send their regrets that they will be unable to attend due to an urgent matter at work.

“TheSouth Boulder Rec and East Boulder Rec center installations were completely defaced. I have reinstalled in each location. The way they were defaced showed us that it was an act of violence toward the undocumented community.” - page 8
