BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
On January 5, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners approved the addition of an agenda topic to the second Regular meeting of the month entitled Public Art Moment in partnership with ASC. The purpose of this item was to raise public awareness and appreciation for the Mecklenburg County tax dollars that are spent on enriching lives through support of public art. On June 3, the Board approved 1) a name change from "Public Art Moment" to "Arts & Culture Moment" and 2) Expanding content to include, among other things, community supported arts and science cultural programming and cultural educational programs for school.
This month’s Arts & Culture Moment features a “Culture Blocks” program called “Dance Without Limits”.
Culture Blocks is a community programming model administered by the Arts & Science Council and funded by Mecklenburg County. The program engages creative individuals and organizations with a primary mission of arts, science, and/or history to present programs in ten specific geographic areas.
