Cultural Plan Activity Update for March
We're launching a new era at ACNV as part of our 30th Anniversary and we hope you can join us! We have a lot of creative community fun planned this year and it's just getting underway. After all, arts and culture is meant for sharing.
In a few weeks, we're hosting our first quarterly ACNV Mixer for Members on Thursday, March 18, 6-8pm at Rutherford Grange. Enjoy live music by local emerging artists, wine, and hors d'oeuvres with your fellow Arts Council members. Find out what creative projects are going on around the Valley, meet local artists and art fans, and learn how to get even more involved in your community!
The review and vote was scheduled for Tuesday, February 16 at the City Hall. PUBLIC ART ORDINANCE PASSED: We now can create plans to make public art fixtures of our new development, buildings, parks, waterfalls etc! Took YEARS in the making with many opposers. Thanks to the following speakers: Chandra Cerrito, Dan Monez, Kathryn Reasoner, Harry Price, Lee BLock, Lowell Downey, Diane Shepp, Kristina Young and Alex Shantz! Learn about Ordinance.
