Questions for Candidate Forums
Arts & Culture
- What was a meaningful arts and cultural experience you had growing up?
- What do you believe the role of City Council should be in the development and support of the region's cultural infrastructure?
- How would you champion modifications to, or expansion of, the city's current funding stream for local arts and culture?
- What three things would you do to deepen the city's investment in its creative economy (cultural tourism, indirect and direct jobs, nonprofit and for profit)?
Arts Education
- What is your opinion of your district's current approach to a complete education that includes the arts?
- What role do you think the arts can play in supporting key priorities of the district such as reducing the dropout rate, closing the achievement gap, and preparing more students for college eligibility and/or meaningful careers?
- In light of the current budget crisis, the state is now allowing local school districts flexibility to redirect their allocation from the “art and music block grant” to fund other local priorities. How would you balance the need to invest in arts education with the other financial challenges facing your district?
- What meaningful experiences with art (visual, dance, drama, music) did you have growing up? Please tell us about those experiences.
