Question # 1
There is great sub-surface energy emanating from the larger “Arts Community” within the city which bursts forth on First Friday Art Walks when our many galleries, related and nearby businesses remain open and welcoming to a delighted public. A similar spirit in a smaller venue is evident at Uptown Saturday Night as the merchants along ‘Uptown’ San Marco Avenue, including several art galleries, entertain the public after normal business hours. Given the enormous popularity and success of these monthly events, why would the city not encourage more ‘arts-based commerce’?

QUESTION #1- Public funding for the arts:
YES – I support it.
