ARTS MASTER PLAN
The vision of the San Marcos Arts Commission is a city in which artistic excellence is celebrated, supported, and available to all. In order to see this vision come to life, the commission is embarking on the development of an Arts Master Plan for the community. The first stage of this process is to compile a local inventory of arts and cultural assets. These assets include individual performing and visual artists, arts organizations, art galleries, arts organizations, cultural organizations, art teachers, public art venues, performance venues, etc. Diann McCabe, Chair of the Arts Commission recently lead a workshop for the commission to identify these assets. “While the members brainstormed and came up with many assets, we know that we did not identify everything.” McCabe stated. “We want this master plan to be a community project, with input from every facet of the community, including artists, performers, businesses, teachers, students, and anyone else who is interested in developing and showcasing our artistic community.” The commission is asking all interested artists, organizations, and business to provide their contact information and brief description of their artistic contributions to the community.
