More on letting SF hear from you

Besides the survey that I posted this weekend, you can also save this date: Saturday July 30th, from 10AM-1PM.

That's the date of a COMMUNITY ARTS TOWN HALL MEETING
Sponsored by the San Francisco Arts Task Force

It's being held at the Herbst Theatre at 401 Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco.

The Arts Task Force has a stated charter to:

-Sustain and stabilize community-based not-for-profit arts organizations serving, celebrating and supporting our diverse neighborhoods
-Build upon the our strong creative workforce and existing substantial arts economy to increase employment and leverage new economic opportunities
-Expand City resources for low- and moderate-income housing and affordable studios and workspaces to help retain artists in San Francisco

And they want your input, as part of the SF arts community (even if you're part of the community who appreciates and patronizes the arts.)

There will be an opening performance, a panel discussion to set the stage and stimulate ideas and then, most critically, open community input.

Panelists include:
Deborah Cullinan (Executive Director, Intersection for the Arts)
Idris Ackamoor (Artistic Director, Cultural Odyssey) and
Andrew Brother Elk, (Director, Native American Cultural Center)

For more information on the town hall meeting call Task Force Chairperson Debra Walker at 415-552-6594 or e-mail debra@debrawalker.com.
