BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
At the January 19, 2016 CAC meeting, the Commission approved implementing a regular Cultural Affairs New Column to better engage the public of the work of the City’s Cultural Affairs Division, including the CAC and the Cultural Affairs Foundation Board (CAF), and also as a means of highlighting cultural events and organizations serving the Culver City community. This news column is to appear in a print publication such as the Culver City News and be produced in electronic form similar to The Palette, which highlights art and culture in Santa Monica. The news column is to be produced and coordinated by CAC and CAF Board members with minimal staff oversight.
The first news column was written by former Commissioner Regina Klein for print publication end of April. Vice Chair Dickter drafted the second article focusing on the Creative Economy Report for Culver City.
