CULTURAL AFFAIRS COMMISSION

In October 2021, City Council appointed the first members of a new Cultural Affairs Commission to advise Creative Greensboro, promote our work, and act as a liaison to Council. The commission – created per the recommendation of the City’s 2018 Cultural Arts Plan – is comprised of people who represent the city’s demographics and offer a wide range of expertise and perspectives. At least 51 percent of members represent the creative community, including an entrepreneur, a K-12 arts educator, representatives of cultural organizations and a college or university, and a Greensboro Cultural Center tenant. In its first year, the commission successfully advocated to the City Council to include $500,000 in the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 budget for arts grants, another recommendation of the Cultural Arts Plan. Members also served on artist selection committees, urged City leaders to fund long-standing maintenance needs of the Greensboro Cultural Center, and helped develop a program for evaluating the impact of Greensboro Cultural Center tenants.
