Cultural Arts Classes Registration Report— Fall 2014 RECOMMENDATION: Receive Report FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None DESCRIPTION: The Heritage and Cultural Arts Division strives to develop 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 program of offerings for youth and adults in the disciplines of music; dance; fine arts; and visual and performing arts. The Division also provides a variety of programs at the Heritage Park and Museums to support education and stewardship of the City's historic collections. The following report is a summary of programs conducted during Fall 2014. CULTURAL ARTS CLASSES Cultural Arts Classes provide a unique social setting for meeting new people or sharing cultural arts experiences with friends and family members. The variety of classes offered provides opportunities for community members 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. Total combined registration for Cultural Arts, Recreation and Leisure activities has increased by 6%from last year's Fall quarter. Cultural Arts Classes increased by 48% as compared to last year.This is attributed to several factors. There was increased participation in a number of returning classes including: Hip Hop, Waltz and Ballet; the KinderDrama franchise; Beginning Ukulele; and Tri-Valley Young Performer's production of "Sideways Stories from Wayside School." Additionally, a number of new classes were added including Clay Creations and Guitar for Beginners.

During the second quarter (Spring) the Dublin Library hung the exhibit; "A Century of Service." There were no exhibits during the third quarter (Summer).

This measurement also includes those who experience the Heritage Park and Museums as a participant in one of the many community events 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. • Tours. In general, schools do not take field trip during the Fall quarter; however, four Cub Scout groups toured the Heritage Park and Museums during this quarter. The City also hosted the following events at Heritage Park and Museums: • Heritage Music Jam: This ongoing program continued to attract on average 80 participants per month. • Hands-On History was held on Saturday, October 25 with an estimated attendance of 500 participants. The event featured traditional Fall activities including tractor-pulled wagon rides, a petting zoo, hay stack play, and live music. Hands-on history activities included, panning for gold, doing laundry, peeling apples, and making butter, ice cream and cider. • Holiday Tea: The Holiday Tea was held in the Sunday School Barn, on December 6 and December 7. The event had 119 guests. This is the same attendance as last year, however, a second seating was added each day to allow for a leisurely, uncrowded event. A "Holiday Market" was a new addition to 3 of 5 the Tea this year.
