PURPOSE: To present checks to local artists and arts organizations receiving Fall, 2002
Orange County Arts Grants.
BACKGROUND: The Orange County Arts Commission grants funds to local artists and arts
organizations in the fall from funds received from Orange County government. Funds are
distributed for arts programming that reflects the racial and cultural diversity of the County.
Each grant recipient must match the grant amount with local dollars in order to receive funding.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Orange County included money for this purpose in the current fiscal
year budget.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board acknowledge the local
recipients of the awards during the February 17, 2003 meeting with the presentation of checks
by the Board Chair Margaret Brown.
