DESCRIPTION:
At the August , 2017 Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission meeting, Dublin resident
Vanessa Thomas introduced herself as a journalist and art photographer and spoke
about her interest in developing a social media hub, called Dublin Art C ollective, for
Dublin-based artists to connect with each other and the public. During Item 9, by
majority vote, the Commission requested Staff place on a future agenda a presentation
on the Dublin Art Collective concept.
Staff met separately with Ms. Thomas to hear her concept and clarify that the Dublin Art
Collective would operate as an independent arts organization, and would in no way be
managed by the City, nor serve as a representative of the City. However, as the Dublin
Art Collective and the City's Cultural Arts and Heritage Division have a shared interest in
promoting arts opportunities and fostering the growth of an arts community within the
City of Dublin, there may be opportunities to work together collaboratively. Staff briefed
Ms. Thomas on the opportunities currently available to Dublin arts organizations,
including opportunities to participate at City of Dublin events and the availability of Arts
Space Grants, and advised her on how to find arts information
