Sacramento Arts, Culture, and Creative Economy Commission Meeting - November 14, 2022

The Sacramento Arts, Culture, and Creative Economy Commission held a virtual meeting on Monday, November 14, 2022, at 2:08 p.m. Chair Dr. L. Steven Winlock called the meeting to order. Commissioners present: Kristen Nicole Blair, Doni Blumenstock, Cecily Hastings (joined at 2:11 p.m.), Luisa Lavulo, Andrea Lepore, Cruz Naranjo, Isela Perez, Priscilla Enriquez, and Steven L. Winlock. Commissioners absent: Rick Gott, Akshaj Mehta, and Melinda Wilson Ramey. The meeting included a land acknowledgement and pledge of allegiance.

Consent Calendar

  • The commission approved the minutes of October 10, 2022, by a unanimous motion (Commissioner Blumenstock moved, Commissioner Naranjo seconded; all eight present voting yes). The Director's Report was also received and filed. Director Megan Van Voorhis highlighted:
    • The Sacramento Music Census had received over 1,200 responses and was extended to November 20, 2022, with requests for commissioners to promote it further.
    • The IOB Sacramento Arts and Culture Match Fund, a $400,000 pool launched in April 2022, had enrolled nearly 40 resident-led projects, raised $178,000 through 700 local donations.
    • The Del Rio Trail project Phase 1 had at least 20 artist opportunities across disciplines, with a deadline of November 21, 2022.

Discussion Items

  • Arts Education Partnership Update (Item 3): Allison Cagley (Friends of Sacramento Arts, or FOSA) and Jackie White (Sacramento County Office of Education, SCOE) presented an update. Cagley reported on FOSA's new strategic plan with the vision "Arts every day for every child in every school," the passage of Prop 28, and the launch of a Heroes of Arts Education Gala on March 16, 2023, at SOFIA. FOSA contracted with KP Public Affairs for outreach. Jackie White described the transition of the "Any Given Child" and "SAC Healthy Hearts and Minds" programs to SCOE. She shared survey data showing teachers' top interest was arts integration, and detailed district commitments: Sacramento City Unified would provide 40 residencies, 24 exposure experiences, and SAC Healthy at 15 schools over two years; Twin Rivers would implement SAC Healthy at all elementary and middle schools. White noted a high demand for artists in residence and professional development. Commissioners asked about arts integration (defined as teaching two subjects equally through an art form), the impact of Prop 28 (expected to fund permanent arts staff and increase equity), and pathways from arts education to careers. Chair Winlock praised the collaboration. The item was received and filed.
  • Chairperson's Report (Item 4): Chair Winlock announced the upcoming election for Chair and Vice Chair in December 2022, recommending that Vice Chair Priscilla Enriquez succeed him to provide continuity. He also reminded commissioners that terms for Andrea Lapore, Cecily Hastings, Rick Gott, and Doni Blumenstock expire December 31, 2022, and they must reapply. He encouraged wearing commission badges and reported attending FOSA's event (where the mayor reaffirmed commitment to the arts) and First Friday at The Wall and Rock and Soul Gallery. The item was received and filed.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • Lambert Davis (To the Bay and Back Cheesecakes) praised the commission's work, noted positive interactions with staff and Commissioner Hastings, and expressed appreciation for the direction of arts funding in District 2.

Commissioner Comments

  • Cecily Hastings encouraged commissioners to attend holiday performances and invite new audiences.
  • Isela Ortiz highlighted the Old Sacramento ceremonial tree lighting on November 21.
  • Cruz Naranjo noted the busy post-pandemic arts season, including Dia de los Muertos at Panteon and the Golden Harvest Festival, where Commissioner Luisa Lavulo sang the national anthem. He also observed that the Garden Land Mural, initially controversial, is now widely embraced.
  • Luisa Lavulo acknowledged her participation and the value of sharing arts activities.
  • Doni Blumenstock emphasized the power of collaboration, quoting "a river is the power of many raindrops."

Key Outcomes

  • The Consent Calendar was approved unanimously.
  • The Director's Report, Arts Education Partnership Update, and Chairperson's Report were all received and filed; no votes were required.
  • No formal decisions were made regarding the chair election or commissioner reappointments; those processes will proceed in December 2022. Implementation of Prop 28 and continued partnership with SCOE and FOSA will be ongoing.
