ADMINISTRA TION RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution. BACKGROUND: The Festival of the Arts is an important ongoing event which has evolved from a local street show to one of the largest and most prestigious arts festivals on the East Coast. Previously held on Collins Avenue in the stretch of Miami Beach known as the "Fabulous Fifties", the 3D-acre North Shore Open Space Park has now become the new home of the festival. The 2000 Festival of the Arts will be held on February 5-6, 2000 and anticipates that the Festival will attract over 200 artists and over 50,000 attendees. AGENDA ITEM~JL DATE '('). LO .q9- ANALYSIS: The Festival of the Arts was originally administered entirely by funds generated from area sponsors, artists and vendor fees. Following the relocation of this event to North Beach in 1995, additional funding for advertising and promotions as well as a search for new area sponsors became necessary. The event is still primarily funded by artist and vendor fees, sponsors and donations, as available. A grant from the 1999-2000 Miami-Dade County Cultural Affairs Council will provide for advertising and promotions to support and encourage attendance to the 2000 Festival of the Arts. CONCLUSION: The Administration recommends adoption of the Resolution. SR:M:A~ F:I/NI'O\$ALLIV ARJ\COMMEM FAB
