Arts and Culture Plan for Carlsbad CA is Underway

 

 

The arts have been a big part of the Carlsbad community for years, and I’ve seen plenty of growth and changes in the arts and culture since moving here 12 years ago from Boston. Opportunities are everywhere – public art, theater, music programs, art fairs, educational programs and summer camps, and so much more.

The City of Carlsbad is developing a formal Art and Culture Plan to insure that continue growth of art and culture in our community. In conjunction with input from Carlsbad residents, the City will be identify the community’s priorities for the arts for the next 10 years, work on identifying objectives that can be measured, and develop an implementation plan, with the plan for presenting this to the City Council in the winter of 2018.

How exciting is this, Jeff, for the Carlsbad community? I can't believe you won't have a lot of participation.

Great stuff and I have been impressed with corporations in Oklahoma City do arts work voluntarily.

Local communities stepping up to provide these types of cultural and artistic opportunities should get a huge round of applause, Jeff Dowler ... as Federal monies become unavailable, they (local monies and efforts) will be more and more needed and relied upon.  

Kudos to Carlsbad for acting proactively  ...

When it comes to arts and culture I'm a HUGE fan! I especially like the guitars, especially the first one on the left of the photograph. I've never seen one like that before!

Hendrix, Frampton, Knopfler and Stranglehold by Ted Nugent are now playing in my head because of the image Jeff Dowler ! It was fun to tour the rock and roll hall of fame in Cleveland.

Hi Nina Hollander  - the Carlsbad community tends to get pretty involved and I suspect this will be no different. I'm going to try to get to one of the sessions when I get home from DC.

Agreed Dick Greenberg  - There has been so much done in Carlsbad since I moved it and it's nice to see a formal program being created that will provide a long term benefit. It will certainly add to the appeal of the community.

Hi Joe Pryor We see that as well. Good for Oklahoma City

I agree Gene Mundt, IL/WI Mortgage Originator - FHA/VA/Conv/Jumbo/Portfolio/Refi  They have had a growth program in place for many years to help manage development, and this is another commitment by the City to plan proactively. And of course I am in favor of anything having to do with the arts.

Indeed Nick & Trudy Vandekar, 610-203-4543  - I was very pleased to hear about this and hope to be involved.

Our Museum of Making Music is an amazing facility. The collection of instruments alone is remarkable Patricia Feager . Thanks for stopping by!

And I'm glad to see the City supporting that enrichment Debbie Reynolds

Life just keeps getting better in Carlsbad Sally K. & David L. Hanson 

Hi James Dray  - there's a lot here despite being so much smaller than Boston. And it keeps growing. There are still many aspects of Boston, and New England in general that I miss.
