Revised FAC Business Plan Draft - 2014 -15
Description of the FAC (Duties, etc)
The Fine Arts Commission of the City of San Bernardino is established by ordinance as an
Advisory Commission to the Mayor and the City Council. There are eleven commissioners appointed by
the Mayor and Council members, nine regular and two alternates. Some funding is available through
the cultural development construction fees (Ordinance 50.57). The duties of the Commission, as stated
in the current recommended revision are:
A. Make recommendations to the Mayor and Common Council for the development and
promotion of the visual and performing arts in San Bernardino.
B. Work with public and private cultural organizations to promote the efficient utilization of
community art resources and to enlarge the opportunities for the diverse City population to
participate in and enjoy culturally rewarding experiences.
C. Develop a master plan for fine arts objectives and development in San Bernardino
D. Review the financial needs of fine arts organizations in San Bernardino and recommend
specific grants within the City budget allocation for approval by the Mayor and the Common
Council to achieve overall cultural objectives
E. Promote other art related activities as resources are available.
Purposes of Commission for 2014 -15
1. Showcase the arts as an economic booster for the City.
2. Be a clearing house of art activities for the City, and promote art - related activities
3. Provide networking opportunities for arts organizations and artists
Projects for 2014 -15 (Numbers correspond to numbers of purposes)
Mural Policy - - -(2) —The Commission is currently working on a policy regarding murals in the City.
This policy will establish a process for obtaining permits for mural painting on both private and
public property. The draft of the policy is currently in the office of the City Attorney. There will
most likely be a public art policy, which includes both murals on public and private property.
Public Art -1 This is a long -term objective, and will be discussed by the Commission in the
spring of 2015. The plan would be to define "public art," (see above) and to discuss current
public art, and ways of funding future such endeavors.
Networking opportunities -3 The Commission will host quarterly gatherings of arts leaders in
the City, giving them an opportunity to share ideas, and to possibly collaborate on projects.
Community Arts Calendar -2 Currently, the FAC is accepting information about arts events, and
putting those announcements on a Facebook page which has been established. This will
continue, with the possibility of moving the calendar to the City's website and making contact
with newspapers to include such a calendar in their local news pages.
Grants to arts organizations -1 and 2 -- A sub - committee of the Commision is currently looking
at the criteria and process that was established several years ago. The sub - committee will
report to the Commission by the end of October. When the revised plan is approved, arts
organizations and others will be notified of the timeline for applying for a grant. Because we
are well into the fiscal year 2014 -15, the grants for this fiscal year will most likely be for a partial
year, beginning in January.
Databases of arts organizations, venues and artists -3 This is an on -going project. The
Commission members are currently in the process of gathering this information. These
databases may be available on the city's website.
Film Production Booklet -1 This is currently a project in the office of the City Clerk, with input
from Commission members. Venues for possible film production will be photographed, and
contact information provided to film companies looking for sites to use for filming.
Funding available for 2014 -2015= $437,000
Grants -- Recommended amount of funds to be allocated in 2014 -15 - TBA
Film Production Booklet— Recommended amount of funds allocated in 2014 -15 ? ? ??
Community -wide projects - --
Long term project: By 2017, develop a master plan for fine arts objectives and development in San
Bernardino
2014 -15— Review master plans of other cities, receive input from community members, developers, and
other stake - holders.
2015 -16 -- -Begin writing goals, objectives and expected outcomes of a master plan.
2016 -17 -- -Have final draft ready for Mayor and Common Council approval by January of 2017.

On December 1St, 1955, after a long day at work at the Montgomery Fair department store, Rosa Parks
Bravely challenged widely accepted Jim Crow laws by refusing to give up her seat on a bus in
Montgomery Alabama. This act Inspired the Montgomery bus boycott, the event historians call the
beginning of the civil rights movements in America .Parks' challenge to segregation on buses contributed
to the end of institutionalized segregation in the South.
Rosa Parks received many accolades during her lifetime including the Spingarn Medal, the NAACP's
highest honor. In 1996 President Clinton awarded Rosa Parks with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The next year she was awarded the Congressional gold Medal, the highest medal given by the U.S.
Legislative branch.
In 1991, the city of San Bernardino had the great privilege of hosting
Rosa Parks as the Grand marshal of San Bernardino's Annual Black
History Parade.
In recognition of her brave contribution to the civil rights
movements, the California State Senate and Assembly resolved to
designate the State Government Center at 464 West 4th St In San
Bernardino as the Rosa Parks Memorial Building. The ceremony
celebrating that resolution was held on March 1" 2008.
In celebrating the 100 birthday of this great American hero, The San
Bernardino Black Culture Foundation is proud to sponsor the
creation of a bronze sculpture of the civil rights hero Rosa Parks. This
statue was created by renowned Artist Patrick Jewett. The life -size bronze sculpture will be placed in
front of the Rosa Parks Memorial Building in San Bernardino Calif.
We Invite you to join us in bringing this project to life with your generous donations. The names of all
the Donors will appear on a plaque near the sculpture. Please send your donations to the Rosa Parks
sculpture C/O San Bernardino Black Culture Foundation: PO Box 7288 San Bernardino Ca, 92411 --0288
By enhancing our public and private buildings with artistic monuments, we can Inspire a since of history
and pride In the hearts and minds of our fellow citizens.
Thank you for your consideration of this worthy project,
Sincerely
The Black Culture Foundation
