City Council Meeting Minutes March 8, 2016 Page 4 of 12 films, displays and readings designed to raise the level of community knowledge, awareness and engagement on this important topic. Project Overview With One Action 2016, the arts will be the vehicle to catalyze, engage, and inform county residents on the many facets of immigration and make this county more welcoming and inclusive. Toward this end, the project will: • Create cross - discipline arts collaborations on immigration themes; • Use the knowledge of immigrant organizations to inform project content; • Develop a broad range of arts experiences designed to educate and engage the public in conversations on immigration; and • Celebrate the cultural richness of local immigrant communities Throughout the year, artists and arts organizations throughout Boulder County will present collaborative arts -based programs that foster conversations on the historic and contemporary issues of immigration. In Louisville, there are over a dozen programs scheduled as part of this arts initiative. The first event, Rocks Karma Arrows presented by the Louisville Cultural Council and the Motus Theater on February 17th, was shown to a sold -out, standing room only crowd. Cultural Arts and Special Events Coordinator Janssen encouraged everyone to participate in the upcoming programs. Information can be found on the City's web site or at one - action.org.
