Sincerely, Ben Konkol 18 Item 1. Strategic Plan for the Arts City of Meridian, Idaho FY 2020-2025 The development of this plan was supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, as administered by the Idaho Commission on the Arts. However, the contents and opinions do not necessarily reflect the views or policy of the National Endowment of the Arts or the Idaho Commission on the Arts. To find out more about how National Endowment for the Arts grants impact individuals and communities, visit www.arts.gov. 19Item 2. 2 Adopted: 12 September 2019 The Meridian Arts Commission (MAC) was established by the City of Meridian in 2006 with a mission to develop, advance and nurture all facets of the arts to enhance the quality of life for Meridian residents and visitors. Core to this mission is the belief that opportunities to experience and participate in the visual, performing and public arts can strengthen cities, increase livability, and contribute to a sense of community. The volunteers appointed by the Mayor to serve on MAC work to further this mission and realize these eight goals: Goal I: Create opportunities for all Meridian residents and visitors to experience public art. Goal II: The youth of Meridian will have opportunities to perform, create, and experience the arts. Goal III: Meridian’s residents and visitors will have an opportunity to experience performing arts. Goal IV: Meridian residents will grow their appreciation for and participation in the arts. Goal V: Meridian residents and visitors will have the opportunity to experience the visual arts. Goal VI: Local artists will have opportunities to grow their skills and showcase their work. Goal VII: Support experiences in the arts for everyone, regardless of age, race, ability, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other protected class. Goal VIII: Build the human and financial resources needed to fulfill the vision of the City of Meridian and Meridian Arts Commission with regard to the arts. This document is intended to guide the Meridian Arts Commission in its efforts to pursue these goals over the next five years (2020-2025) by providing prioritized and implementable objectives, strategies, and actions. 20Item 2. 3 CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES As the Meridian Arts Commission (MAC) begins this five-year period, it recognizes that there are challenges that must be addressed, but that within each challenge is the opportunity to cultivate the arts as a vital part of the community: • Community engagement and participation: Meridian is experiencing rapid population growth, and our expanding metropolitan area is attracting new activities that compete for the attention of individuals and families. MAC must work to make meaningful connections with Meridian’s residents, new and established, and to educate the public on the importance of art and the opportunities available to experience visual, performing, and public art in Meridian. Establishing partnerships with schools and universities creates opportunities to reach the next generation of audience members, provide programs for youth during non-school times, and use alternative venues for performances and traveling exhibitions. Public artworks integrated into parks, gateways, and special districts can help define unique places that attract a broader community. • Artist involvement: Meaningful arts experiences cannot be offered without the creativity and involvement of quality artists. Unless a community of educated and talented local artists can be nurtured and grown, MAC will continue to struggle to attract quality artists to exhibit, educate and perform. Professional artists also can help MAC improve and promote its programs by assisting with marketing, outreach, and access. • Funding: As the ambitions and programs of MAC grow, funding must be secured to provide arts experiences to larger and more diverse audiences. Partnerships with other arts organizations, state and federal arts agencies, businesses, the Meridian Arts Foundation, and City leaders offer an opportunity to jointly identify resources and use available funding to efficiently to reach more community members. • Venues for the arts: Arts experiences can be provided in businesses, schools, parks, City buildings or even on the streets, but having dedicated venues for the arts diversifies the types and quality of the arts that can be presented. Meridian’s location, central to the Treasure Valley urban area, offers an opportunity to become a new regional focal point for the arts. • Knowledge and availability of implementers: None of the exhibits, performances, or public art projects that MAC provides the community can be done without the support of knowledgeable and committed MAC members, City leadership, staff and volunteers. When a MAC member resigns, City leadership changes, or volunteers move on to other 21Item 2. 4 efforts, it can be challenging to keep the momentum necessary to provide programs. Increased volunteer participation with more help from contracted and staff administrators will be needed to grow MAC’s programs. SUCCESSES MAC has a legacy of bringing together dedicated individuals who work tirelessly to see that those who come to Meridian to live, work, and play can take part in the arts. Thanks to these wonderful volunteers, staff, and partners: • Unique traffic boxes decorate street corners • Art Week brings music, children’s theater, chalk artworks and more to downtown • Public artworks help define and celebrate City parks and other spaces • Concerts gather community members on Broadway • Partnerships bring artworks to private properties LOOKING AHEAD Building upon these successes, MAC envisions Meridian as a vibrant arts community that integrates the arts experience into everyday life and enhances the spirit of our great city. Beyond the five-year scope of this plan, future MAC programs might include: • Expanded youth arts opportunities • Targeted arts programs that reach: o Military veterans and their families o Facility- and home-bound residents • Implementation of a scholarship or free ticket program • Mobile arts exhibits that can reach every corner of Meridian • Artist-in-Residence programs that enhance artist abilities and integrate arts into the community fabric • A central clearinghouse of Meridian arts information, opportunities, and local artists 22Item 2. 5 I.
