DISCUSSION REGARDING THE ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION
end
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In response to ongoing questions regarding the evolving role of the Cultural Arts Commission, the Mayor will attend the upcoming meeting to support the Commission’s understanding of its revised purpose and responsibilities. At its meeting on October 1, 2024, the City Council adopted an amendment to the Redondo Beach Municipal Code, renaming the former Public Art Commission to the Cultural Arts Commission and expanding its purview to include a broader range of artistic and cultural disciplines such as theater, music, film, fine art, literature, and poetry. Since this change, several commissioners have expressed a desire for greater clarity on how to interpret and
implement these new responsibilities.
The Mayor’s participation underscores the significance of the Commission’s expanded role and offers an opportunity to articulate the Council’s expectations and vision for advancing cultural arts within the City. Commissioners will have the opportunity to engage directly with the Mayor as part of a structured discussion on this topic.
