DEPARTMENT OF PARKS, RECREATION AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES
CULTURAL AFFAIRS DIVISION
COMMUNITY ARTS SECTION
PROGRAM MISSION: To increase citizen access to the arts and contribute to the
development of attractive residential and commercial neighborhoods.
The Community Arts Section
manages the County's public art program, negotiating public art amenities as
part of the County site plan process, and overseeing the implementation of
temporary and permanent public art projects.
This section also manages the Ellipse Arts Center, Arts Education, and
the ArtsWork and ArtCard programs.
-
Staff is working with the Arts Commission on the
development of public art program guidelines and the Public Art Master
Plan. Staff is currently coordinating
over 20 permanent public art projects that are in various stages of
development. This level of activity is
in direct response to citizen and County staff requests, many of which are
funded through area developers.
Additionally, one or two pilot County projects with each client
department (OSS, DES, DPW, Libraries, PRCR) are currently underway.
-
FY 2004 will be the fourth year of the Artswork
program that provides summer employment, job training, and work experience for
Arlington youth through the arts. The program utilizes sponsorship funding to
match County funding. To date, even
separate public art projects have been realized through this effort: a ceramic
mural at the Columbia Pike Library, a photo mural in the Pentagon City Metro
Station, the painted mural on the first floor in Courthouse Plaza, and a
historic brick walkway that will be installed in Halls Hill/Highview Park as
part of a Neighborhood Conversation project, an oral history project in the
Nauck neighborhood, a gateway entrance to the Potomac river trail at the Gulf
Branch Nature Center and three etched glass bus shelters.

SIGNIFICANT BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:
-
Personnel increase due to normal step increase,
reclassification of one position to a higher grade level, and reallocation of
0.5 FTE from Cultural Development Program for the Artswork Program in Community
Arts.
-
Decrease in non-personnel due to reallocation within
the Division.
-
Decrease in Intra-County Charges due to Public Art
being charged to the General Fund instead of chargeback to the Capital
Improvement Program ($128,180).
PERFORMANCE MEASURES:
Objective:
To assist in the implementation of temporary and permanent public art
projects to make Arlington more attractive and the arts accessible to large
segments of the community.
