BACKGROUND
On June 22, 1999, the City Council approved $250,000 for the Capital Arts Grant
1999-2000 program and directed staff to convene a peer review panel to recommend
grantees. A peer review panel consisting of representatives from the Los Angeles County
Arts Commission, the local arts community, an arts consulting firm, and the City of Santa
Clarita reviewed applications for consideration of funding.
The City received proposals from the following three agencies: Canyon Theatre Guild for
$250,000; Theatre Arts for Children Foundation, Inc., for $250,000; and Santa Clarita
Repertory Theatre for $75,000. Total grant funding requests equal $575,000. On
August 11, 1999, the Review Committee evaluated the proposals and provided
recommendations on grant awards for the above-mentioned agencies.
Based on the criteria, the grant committee recommends funding in the following amounts:
Theatre Arts for Children Foundation, Inc., $30,000; Santa Clarita Repertory Theatre
$70,000; and Canyon Theatre Guild $150,000. Funds will be disbursed as described in
contractual and reporting requirements of the Capital Arts Grant.
