A. The City was awarded $30,000 from the Bohemian Foundation to
underwrite live music as an aspect of the Cultural Community Program (the “Program”)
which works to equitably integrate arts and culture into the Fort Collins community,
especially in locations not typically programmed and beyond conventional cultural
facilities.
B. The Program is part of the City’s Cultural Services Department, and since
2022, both staff wages and programming have been supported by funding from American
Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) dollars.
C. The Program is committed to equitable opportunities for artists to reach and
engage with diverse and often underserved community segments. The Program
integrates art and culture across the community via pop-up performances, community co-
creation, and supporting community initiatives by hiring local creatives to augment
planned events.
D. This appropriation benefits the public health and welfare of the citizens and
serves the public purpose of contributing to the vibrancy of Fort Collins and making live
music fun and accessible for all.
