BACKGROUND: The Orange County Arts Commission awards grants for art programs to local artists, schools and nonprofit organizations from funds received from the state and Orange County government for this purpose. These funds are distributed for arts projects in all arts disciplines. Each grant recipient must match the granted amount at least dollar for dollar in order to receive funding. FINANCIAL IMPACT: A total of $28,540 will be awarded in the Fall 2015 cycle. This amount is awarded from the FY 2015-16 Orange County funds ($28,750) already approved by the BOCC for this purpose. (In the Spring 2015 arts grant cycle, $300 in County funds was awarded to an individual artist.) In addition, $90 was raised from a raffle to support Arts in Education grants, and that amount was added to the total via a Budget Amendment in December 2015. SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to this agenda item: GOAL: FOSTER A COMMUNITY CULTURE THAT REJECTS OPPRESSION AND INEQUITY The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race or color; religious or philosophical beliefs; sex; gender or sexual orientation; national origin or ethnic background; age; military service; disability; and familial, residential or economic status. The impact of arts projects for traditionally under-served populations and geographic location is a part of the grant evaluation criteria across all of grant categories. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board acknowledge the local recipients of these awards during the February 2, 2016 meeting with the presentation of checks by the Board Chair. 2 Arts Grant Recipients Orange County Arts Commission February 2, 2016 Fall, 2015 Arts Grant Recipients: • ArtsCenter .
