Cultural Council <br />Agenda <br />DATE <br />Page 9 of 11 <br />eligible art grant projects and send their scoring sheet to JR, Grace and Erica by <br />01 /25. <br />- JR notes that besides scores in various categories, LCC members must <br />provide an "overall" score for each grant. The art grant projects must take place <br />in Louisville and must have a budget. Public art must move through the public art <br />process and is not an art grant project. Public art does not meet the qualifications <br />for arts grants. JR: motion to remove public art from the art grant process. Mark <br />agrees that if an applicant hasn't met the requirements, they are not eligible to <br />receive an art grant. <br />Sarah asks if it is noted in the instructions to fully fill out the form including <br />not to leave spaces blank is noted on the from anywhere. JR says no. Sarah <br />notes that for first timers filling out these forms or people who have accessibility <br />problems that this should be something to consider when writing the instructions <br />for the forms and can lead to a lot of people being disqualified. Grace notes that <br />there is a number on the form that if anyone has questions, they can call. Grace <br />encourages LCC members to look past syntax in applications, noting that an <br />applicant's English fluency does not affect the quality of their project. <br />- Of this year's art grant applications, two are performances that are not in <br />Louisville, and two are public art.

Pat notes <br />that "if they (applicant) can't complete a budget, can they complete a project?". <br />Sharon suggests public art is a process we want to drive, with intention, <br />rather than having it happen because an art grant was requested and approved. <br />JR notes public art is not part of the Art Grants and proposes it stated on the <br />2024 application. <br />LCC to send text to Erica to use in emails informing grant applicants that <br />their project will or will not be funded. <br />Not scoring the application for Center Stage theater because they have <br />never responded to the request for post Art Grant report, which makes them <br />ineligible for the next year's grant. It appears they have never signed the <br />paperwork to receive last year's grant. Since they were awarded money that they <br />didn't collect, effectively leaving it in our budget rather than awarding it to a <br />
