implemented a very successful "Day of the Dead" festival, and brought an art component
to the City's "Winterfest" holiday event.
The organization has been in continued communications with City staff to increase the
partnership and bring many more events, activities and artists to Lake Elsinore. The Ad
Hoc Committee would team with Council, staff and Studio 395 to identify potential
resources to increase arts and culture to an "art hungry" community.
This Ad hoc Sub Committee will stay in effect through the remainder of the 2015 calendar
year and the need to continue with this will be evaluated when the assignments for the
2016 Committees are discussed.
FISCAL IMPACT
None at this time.
