Te�n M�ar� Cultural A rts& H gitar�Mana�- EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Mission of the Herita�e and Cultural Arts Division is to preserve Dublin's history, encourage cultural activities and increa9e public understanding, appreaa�ion and enjoyrr�ent of the arts and diverse cultures. The Division reports quarterly to the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission on cultural arts dass enrollments �d Herita�e Park and Museum activities and a�tendance. This report is a summary of programs conducted during summer 2015. FINANCIAL IMPACT: N one. RECOMMENDATION: Reoeive report. DESCRIPTION: Cultural Arts Classes Registration for Cultural Arts d�sses incre�ed signific�ntly for summer 2015, in oomparison to summer 2014. Four fa�ver d�ses were offered, but the number of cl�ses actually held was on par with the previous yea-. H owever, the average number of partiapants enrol led per dass was up by 33-percent. The increa�e is primarily due to additional arts summer camp offerings and strong enrollments in all types of arts summer c�mps. The D ivision offered additional sections of Tri-Valley Young Performers drama c�mps, All 4 Dance pop danoe camps and Ever Pro Kids' Art Explosion Camps. Arts Camps with the strongest enrollment were those offered in conjunction with the Camp Connector program, which provides extended �rly morning, lunchtime and a late �ternoon supervision, making it easier for working parents to enroll children in multiple camps at the same�te. Fewer a�ult cultural arts d�sses were offered during the summer and more adult d�ses were canoelled, including Advanoed Ballroom, Beginning Tap, Bo�lywood Danoe, Latin Dance and Ukulele for Adults. Last yeer some adult cl�sses ran with just two or three people enrolled. H istorically adult enrollments drop in the summer.

There are no speaal events xheduled during the summer. The Heritage exhibit on "The Wonder Y�rs: Being a Teen in Dublin during the 1960s and 1970s," which opened during the spring quarter, and remained on display until the end of July, with 145 people viewing it during its final month. The next exhibit, which focuses on the history of Dublin's schools, will open in October to coincidewith theHarvest Fair,which isoneof theHeritagePark'sbusiest Events. H eritage Park Visitors The Visitors Comparison chart shows the number of people who visit the Herita�e Park and Museums � part of a formal tour, as walk-in guests during public exhibit hours, or for those who took a tour during a speaal event at the H eritage Park. Tour guests were counted and recorded by the tour guide. The volunteers at the Visitor Center in the Murray Schoolhouse recorded the walk-in guests. For ticketed speaal Events, guest �tendanoe was dra�vn from tick� sales data For non-tick�ed e✓ents, such as the �ring Faire, attendance w�esti mated. Visitor Comparison numbers neither indude people who �ttended the Herita�e Pak for City-run d�sses (counted in dass�ttendanoe numbers), nor does it includethe peoplewho attended priv�te rental functions. Going forward, Sta�f will report Visitor numbers annually to the Commission at fiscal year-end, instea�l of quarterly, per the Herita�e and Cultural Arts Commission's request to provide a more compl�e picture. Exhibit attendanoe will no longer be reported separa�ely, as it is virtually identical to the vistor count, since the vi�tor oenter was relocated to the M urray Schoolhouse. There were no formal tours or speci� events this summer, so there are no visitors in those ca�egories. • ' • ' � ' `• 1 1 � 1 ` - •. - ' • • � � � •- -• � - • ' -• • ` -• • ' Adult Tour 26 151 0 177 44 151 49 196 Youth Tour 100 595 0 695 99 714 30 557 Walk-I n 269 360 354 629 440 1845 349 2,337 �eaal 157 : 530 N/A 687 0 2247 50 2,208 Events T ot al 552 1,636 ' 354 2,188 783 5,435 478 5,298 Visitors 2of4 I n addition to the number of visitors, the City also tracks the number and type of formal tours offered. Tours for school groups are the most common type offered, as Herita�e Park's history dov�ails with Dublin Unified 5chool District's third grade curriculum on local history. There are typically far fewer tours offered in the summer.This summer, there were no school tours and no camp tours. • � • - � � �• � � - � � - � . - . � � • � � � •- -. � - • � -. • � -. • � School Tour 4 ' 23 0 '' 27 3 21 0 18 Community Tour 2 2 2 ' 6 1 4 4 11 Camp Tour 0 0 0 0 8 8 Total Tours 6 25 2 33 12 33 4 29 H eritage Park Volunteers Sta�f tradcs both the number of volunteers and the number of hours of service each volunteer provides. The Heritage Park and Museums currently has 35 active volunteers,which is an incr�e of six people from spring, due to stepped-up recruitment and teen volunteers remaining involved over the summer. Volunteers do a vari�y of taslcs, induding gre�ing visitors, conducting tours, assisting with colledions and gar'dening. Volunteers were instrumental in lea�ling hand�on history activities for Camp Dublin campers. Fifty children attended the camp, and a different hand�on history activity was featured ea�h day. • - • - • - � - • � � � � � . • � � � -. � � -. • � -. • � , -- .- � - Museum Volunteer 618 612 ' 638 : 1868 620 1,884 696 2,702 Student Volunteer 76 144 ' 144 364 90 390 309 669 Intern N/A N/ N/ , 0 140 60 213 A A Total H ours 694 756 782 2,232 710 2,414 1,065 : 3,584 * M usam �durrtes�s als� i ndude c�rde� �d ur�� v�ho texi to the flan� arid �able c,�rde�,s i m�r�iat�y sarrct.ncing the he�itac�builcing and hi�cric�ey.

H eritage Facility Rentals SLmmer rentals of Heritage Park facilitieswere up slightly from 2014, though not neerly at the high le�el seen during summer 2013. Overall yea--to-d�te rentals are la�ging slightly from 2014. Rentals during this period induded: 3 weddings, 1 mernorial, 2 rec�tions, 3 board rrie�ings and 2 picnics. I t is worth noting, due to the drought, the Herita�e Park grounds are sgnificantly less attractive than in p�t years. Construction of piping to bring recyded w2ter to the Herita�e Park is almost finished, and landscaping is expeded to reoover this fall as the park is able to resume a more consistent irrigation schedule. D ue to the reoent construction, stre�# paking haS been impa�ed. �veral prospective renters have indicated th�t the construction has prompted them to consider other venues. 3 of 4 � . � • . ` ' .• 1 1 � 1 ` • • ■ � � '- •- -• � - • ' -• • ' -• • ' St Raymond Church 19 9 : 3 ', 21 4 28 21 74 �nday�chool Barn 6 11 : 8 25 3 21 8 : 14 Total Rentals 15 20 : 11 : 46 7 49 29 88 NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: N one.
