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. Beginning June 17th, 2025 the item will be renamed: “Arts & Culture Moment” to include additional community supported arts, science and cultural programming such as Culture Blocks, and creative organizations, cultural education programs for schools as well as Public Art projects.  As with the Public Arts Moment, the Arts & Culture Moment will be allotted up to five minutes on the agenda.
