ACTIVITY.

See attached narrative
Biannual Board and Committee report to the City Clerk, November 2000.
The Cultural Arts Council's mission is to develop, coordinate, and promote the visual and
performing arts in Miami Beach for the enjoyment, education, cultural enrichment and .
benefit of the residents and visitors in Miami Beach. In 1997 the nine-member volunteer
board conducted town-meetings with local arts groups to evaluate their needs. The
Council then composed a Cultural Arts Masterplan identifying programs to assist local
arts groups: cultural arts grants, marketing, fucilities, revenue development,
advocacy/planning. The Mayor and City Commission adopted the Masterplan on June 3,
1998. Since that time the Council has awarded over $1 million in cultural arts grants
resulting in hundreds of performances, programs, and exhibits.
In September 2000, the City's internal audit department audited the Council's 1997/1998
and 1998/1999 Fiscal Years and reviewed the City Commission's requirements fur the
Cultural Arts Council. The City's auditor "confirmed that all requirements set by the City
ofMiarni Beach Commission for the Cultural Arts Council have been properly met." See
Exhibit B.
1999-2000 review / Cultural arts grants
October 1999 through April 2000 was an active time fur Miami Beach arts, and the
cultural arts season now extends beyond April due to the Council's support. The
Council's 56 cultural arts grant recipients produce hundreds ofperfurmances and
exhibits. In June the Hispanic Theater Festival, Florida Dance Festival, and Brazilian
Film Festival offered a multitude of opportunities for experiencing the art of different
cultures: Theater groups from Spain, Mexico, Netherlands; dance groups from Japan,
India, and Brazil.
World premiere dance and theater pieces were shown at the Colony Theater, 10 cultural
arts festivals were held, and dozens of other groups performed and presented their work
in Miami Beach as a direct result of the City's cultural arts grant program.
Marketing
The Council hired the Nixon Group for marketing and public relations services rela1ing to
the local performing and visual arts community. Artsbeach.com, the City's arts website is
a key element in collective marketing. artsbeach.com provides a calendar of events,
information on local arts groups, and a Miami Beach arts mailing list. Artsbeach.com
makes Miami Beach arts global.
The Council participated in several marketing projects with other organizations,
accurately portraying Miami Beach as a thriving multicultural arts community.
Cultural journalists from all over the world toured Miami Beach museums and arts
organizations, and attended a Miami Beach arts seminar at the Garden Conservancy's
Palm Festival. As a result, special feature stories have appeared in newspapers
worldwide.
The Sounds, Symbols Project, a 300 by 125 foot environmental art installation by local
artist Carlos Betancourt brought international acclaim to Miami Beach. Made of
thousands of primitively inspired designs, 21st Street beach was the site of the
installation, on the Spring solstice in March with poetry readings by MacArthur fellow
and poet Campbell McGrath and poet Richard Blanco. Betancourt was the first individual
artist to receive a grant from the Cultural Arts Council, and he created the largest
enviromnental art installation since Christo wrapped Biscayne Bay's islands 25 years
ago.
In June the Council assisted Burt Wolf, international travel and culinary television
personality with "Travels and Traditions," a public television special about the art and
culture of South Florida. Miami Beach is featured prominently. Burt Wolfs television
programs air worldwide, and have a consistent audience of over 200 million people.
Facilities
The Council commissioned a study last fall to assess the viability of City properties fur
use by performing and visual arts organizations. Fisher Dachs Associates and Artec
Consultants were hired to review eight cultural facilities and make recommendations:
Colony Theater, 21st Street complex, Oceanfront Auditorium, 72nd Street Bandshell,
Performing Arts Network studio at 555 17th Street, Library Rotunda, Bass Museum
auditorium (future) and the Miami Beach Woman's Club (now under flU). The report
recommends improvements to the Colony Theater, Little Stage and Auditorium at 21 st
Street, and the Library Rotunda; and encourages the City to build and operate a small
rehearsal and perfurmance facility. Council staffhave been working with arts groups and
City administration to address arts groups office, rehearsal and performance space issues.
Arts Advocacy
On multiple occasions the Cultural Arts Council staff and board members have met with
constituents to assist in organizational development, and long-range planning. Council
staff and board members work with the City administration as advocates for arts groups
researching grants for facilities, assisting with parking difficulties, and in obtaining
permits.
In December 1999 the Council hosted a town meeting at the Miami Beach Woman's
Club. The arts groups are concerned with more funding for grants, marketing support,
and a greater level of understanding and advocacy at the govermnentalleveJ. The Council
redesigned the cultural arts grant program, offered 2 board development workshops for
all arts groups supported by the City, and 15 custom designed board retreat scholarships.
