Cultural Arts Classes Registration Report—Summer 2014 RECOMMENDATION: Receive Report FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None DESCRIPTION: The Heritage and Cultural Arts Division develops quality programs that strengthen community image, preserve the City's heritage, provide cultural experiences and encourage appreciation of the arts. This is accomplished by providing diverse offerings for youth and adults in the disciplines of music; dance; fine arts; and visual and performing arts. The Division also provides programs at the Heritage Park and Museums to support education and stewardship of the City's historic collections. This report is a summary of programs conducted during summer 2014. CULTURAL ARTS CLASSES Cultural Arts Classes and Camps provide opportunities for customers of all ages to attempt new experiences or refine current artistic and performance skills. Classes are taught by contracted specialty instructors and are typically offered from four to eight weeks in duration. A total of 462 participants registered for Cultural Classes during summer 2014, a small increase from last summer. The cultural art Camp programs were very popular this summer, particularly the Art Explosion Camps offered by Dublin business, Ever-Pro. New to this summer camp lineup, Ever-Pro Camps held three sessions with enrollments ranging from 12 to 18 students. Also quite popular were new video- based camps: "Let's Make Movies!" and Television News Production. There was an 11% reduction in the class cancellation rate this summer as compared to last summer. Staff has been working with instructors to offer fewer session options. This has also had a positive impact on the average registration per class. COPIES TO: �... _�e._�a�._ ......�...... �......a.

HERITAGE PROGRAMS EXHIBITS The "Exhibit Attendance" captures the number of individuals who visit an exhibit as part of a formal tour, as a walk-in guest, and those who visit during special events when the Museums are open to the public. During this reporting period, there was one exhibit, "Dublin Library" that opened on May 14, 2014 and closed July 16, 2014.

This measurement also includes those who experience the Heritage Park and Museums as a participant in one of the many community events or programs hosted at the site by the City. Tours are also tracked to differentiate between those tours that are a school group or those that are for some other formal or informal community group. There were no special events during the summer quarter; however, the Parks and Community Services Department located "Camp Dublin" at the Dublin Heritage Park and Museums for the second year. This full day program offered a classic camp experience. There were different Camp Dublin sessions; one for pre-school age and the other for elementary school age children. Both groups participated in daily history enrichment activities including making butter, ice cream and panning for gold. Both groups of campers participated in an activity with the Garden Volunteers in which they planted bean seeds to take home and grow and then they toured the new "kitchen garden" and tasted tomatoes right off the vine. The groups also toured the museums. A total of 53 children attended the camps. Enrichment activities included eight tours. The 53 campers are reflected in the Tour data below.
