I. Executive Summary
Geneva’s Cultural Arts Commission was created by
Ordinance in 2006. As stated in the Ordinance, “The
Cultural Arts Commission is an advisory committee
and will make recommendations to the City Council.
The purpose of the Cultural Arts Commission shall be
to serve as an information center for the cultural arts
within the City of Geneva by providing information to and about arts groups and maintaining an
annual arts activity calendar for the Community. Additionally, the Commission shall provide
guidance to the Community in creating a permanent Cultural Arts Center and, upon its
establishment, to oversee the management thereof.”
In the fall of 2010, the City of Geneva in cooperation with the Geneva Cultural Arts Commission
(GCAC) retained Public Research Group, LLC to survey the Community to understand its cultural
needs and gauge public interest in building a Cultural Arts Center. The conclusions of the needs
assessment showed there was a high level of support for the arts in Geneva and significant
interest in an Arts Center. While there was strong support for a Community Arts Center, the
survey also found that Geneva residents were uncertain about funding for its development and
operation.
During the course of recent planning, it was also reported by the Geneva Park District that they
had conducted a survey to determine if they’re responding properly to Community needs. The
results of their survey indicated that cultural art is an unmet need.
In 2013, the Geneva Foundation for the Arts was formed as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit
organization to work hand in hand with the Cultural Arts Commission. The Foundation’s mission
is to acquire and manage funds to promote a thriving arts Community in Geneva. Contributions
will be sought from various sources including public and private to fund artistic development in
our Community.
Planning Approach
In the fall of 2015, Community leaders, experts and representatives of local organizations were
invited to participate in a forum to share information and ideas on the best approach to move
forward. Two forums were held and a number of ideas and themes were discussed.
Summaries of the discussions are included in Appendix A.
A planning committee, made up of Community leaders, experts and representatives of local
organizations was then formed by the Geneva Cultural Arts Commission to carry out the
initiative – to define the vision, location, management, financial requirements, and
Business Plan for a Community Arts Center / Geneva Cultural Arts Commission / City of Geneva, IL P a g e | 2
programming for the proposed Arts Center. The planning approach involved forming four sub-
committees as follows:
o The Research Sub-Committee investigated comparable facilities. Information about
organizational structure; annual revenue and expenses; revenue sources; size;
programs offered, etc. was gathered.
o The Location/Real Estate Sub-Committee created an inventory / data base of
existing, vacant properties near down town Geneva that may be suitable for a
Community Arts Center. A survey form was used to document data about each
potential location including size, availability, ownership, cost, etc.
o The Financial / Pro-forma Sub-Committee developed the Business Plan based on
information provided by the Research and Location/Real Estate Sub-Committees.
o The Liaison & Communications Sub-Committee provided strategic information to
the City Government and Community.
Through the efforts of the Planning Committee, this Business Plan was created to provide a
viable approach to establish a Community Arts Center.
What a Center will be
Throughout the planning process, the Committee’s research provided constructive guidance on
establishing a successful Arts Center. A Community Arts Center in Geneva will focus attention
on the arts and become a true cultural asset. Ideally, it will be a place where children, young
people, adults and seniors can meet to engage with people of similar interests in photography,
painting, ceramics, creative writing, filmmaking, drama, music, sculpture/3-D art, and crafts. In
addition to exhibitions and small scale performances, the center will offer classes for all ages,
particularly programs for children during summer and school vacations. The center will operate
as a member-driven organization where individuals or families will pay a modest annual fee to
help support the center and its programs. Its program offerings will be designed in response to
member interests.
Location
The preferred location is downtown Geneva with adequate and convenient parking.
Additionally, the location should have good visibility and be situated to attract downtown
visitors and promote other local art-based organizations. The committee has investigated and
gathered real estate data for the purpose of planning, but final decisions on location will
depend on timing and availability. This could be an excellent opportunity for a patron of the arts
to offer support by donating vacant space to establish an initial location for the Arts Center.
Please refer to Appendix C.
Business Plan for a Community Arts Center / Geneva Cultural Arts Commission / City of Geneva, IL P a g e | 3
Programming
Exhibitions – Initially, the center will become the site for the year-
round program of exhibitions. The Greater Geneva Arts Guild has
a great need for gallery space, and the Center will support an
expanded exhibition program for a much larger audience.
Performances – The Geneva Park District is establishing a new
theater location that is expected to support a variety of dramatic
productions and musical events. This may be an opportunity to collaborate with the Park
District; however, the Community Arts Center should have the ability and flexibility to
accommodate small scale performances.
Workshops - Designed for adult learners, these will focus on topics
from creative writing to painting, sketching, photography,
filmmaking, music, digital arts depending on member interests.
Strategic partnerships with the Geneva Public Library, Schools and
Park District will be advantageous to programming.
Children’s Programs – Strong emphasis will be placed on the Center’s programming for
children. As with Workshop programming, Strategic partnerships with the Geneva Public
Library, Schools and Park District will be advantageous.
Affinity Groups – The center will help organize and schedule
regular meeting space for interest-based groups. Fostering
connections among Geneva residents with common interests will
be a significant contribution to the Community.
Communications – The center will function as a clearinghouse for
arts information in Geneva, offering a comprehensive web-based calendar of arts events as well
as notification by mail, email and social media.
Operations and Management
The center’s programs will be developed and managed by a paid Executive Director, and
supported by a well-organized system of volunteers provided by the Greater Geneva Art Guild
and Community. Instructors for classes will likely be hired on a contract basis and be
compensated through modest tuition and material fees. As the Center grows and becomes
more established, other full or part-time paid positions may be added to manage educational
programs, marketing and public relations. It is proposed that operation and management of
the Center be undertaken by the Geneva Foundation for the Arts, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit
organization.
Business Plan for a Community Arts Center / Geneva Cultural Arts Commission / City of Geneva, IL P a g e | 4
Financial Model
The Center’s revenue will come from private sources such as membership dues, program fees,
tuition, entrance fees for exhibitions, facilities rental, program advertising, foundation grants,
and fundraising. This plan establishes a revenue goal of approximately $225,000 in the first full
year to offset expenses and reserves. In addition to annual expenses, a start-up cost of
approximately $15,000 should be budgeted for equipment and furnishings. This would be an
excellent opportunity for art patrons to donate usable goods to the Arts Center. There is no
expectation to use public funds at this time. Refer to Appendix D for more detail.

II. Need for a Community Arts Center
The Survey
The City of Geneva in cooperation with the Geneva Cultural Arts Commission (GCAC) retained
Public Research Group in the fall of 2010 to survey the Community to understand its cultural
needs and gauge public interest in building a Cultural Arts Center. The needs assessment was
thought to be a critical first step to determine if further study should be undertaken for a new
Cultural Arts Center. The process was open and transparent and relied heavily on the
Community, the Cultural Arts Commission, and targeted focus groups that could express
perspectives and views within the Community. As a fresh planning initiative, this needs
assessment sought to define the essence of the arts within the City and provide insight into
new opportunities for programs, operations and facilities for the next several years. A copy of
the survey is available on the Geneva Cultural Arts Commission’s website.
The data showed that residents are generally supportive of amenities within a Cultural Arts
Center with 34% preferring that a center be a renovated structure, and 21% a shared use
center. To support a Cultural Arts Center, 23% of respondents said they would be willing to
donate.
The input received from the different sources provided insight into the level of cultural arts
within the City. An important goal was to understand the likelihood of support to build a new
Arts Center. A second goal was to develop an understanding of the future of cultural arts
within the city. This includes the types of events attended, satisfaction with those events and
how familiar residents were with the Geneva Cultural Arts Commission (GCAC).
The conclusions of the needs assessment gave the Geneva Cultural Arts Commission a great
deal of information to share with both the Community and elected officials. The level of
financial support for a new Cultural Arts Center was uncertain, but there was interest in
developing more awareness by the Geneva Cultural Arts Commission through internal
organizational enhancements and an external marketing campaign. The possibility of having a
dedicated administrative space for the arts was of interest to provide an outlet for the
Community to know more about the Cultural Arts Commission and its programs. Generally,
Geneva residents are frequent patrons of the arts and are generally satisfied with local events;
funding for major initiatives should not rely on tax increases; exploration of partnerships has
merit for the future endeavors; and there are many opportunities to continually improve
cultural arts in the City of Geneva, but it should be done in a cost effective way.
Economic Impact to the Community
It’s no secret that Economic Development and the arts go hand in hand. On a national level, it
has been reported by Americans for the Arts that the country’s nonprofit arts and culture
Business Plan for a Community Arts Center / Geneva Cultural Arts Commission / City of Geneva, IL P a g e | 6
industry generates over $135 billion dollars in economic activity every year. And in a
publication titled Arts and Culture Planning: A Tool Kit for Communities by the Chicago
Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) the following was stated: “While arts and culture are
sometimes marginalized and seen as a nice “extra,” they are necessary ingredients for making
communities attractive and vibrant places to live and work.”
CMAP goes on to say: “While abstract, livability is seldom an accident. Livable communities are
created through effective planning and decisions by local officials, developers, and individual
residents. Arts and culture already plays an important role in the region, but it has even greater
potential to help communities achieve their objective through local planning that is creative,
smart, and resourceful.”
III. The Vision of a Community Arts Center
In addition to the Community Survey, the Cultural Arts Commission
conducted two Community forums in the fall of 2015. The input
provided further framework for what is desired. The subsequent
Planning Research Sub-Committee also prepared a comprehensive
report of comparable Community Art Centers throughout the country. Information was
gathered using the internet, phone and email inquiries. The research provided data about
property acquisition, revenue generation, governance, staffing, program offerings and essential
factors for success. A matrix of information for 48 Arts Centers around the country was
prepared.
Throughout the information gathering process, there was a range of comments and ideas, but
common themes arose:
• Make the arts more visible / develop more awareness.
• A physical presence and home for cultural arts is important to cultivate art.
• A community gathering place where people can explore art.
• The facility should be manageable, and not too big.
• Clearinghouse for art events; coordinate and share with the City, Park District, Library,
Schools, Art Guild, etc.
• Collaborate with other art education providers.
• Don’t compete with neighboring performing arts centers.
• Proximity to downtown is essential.
• It should be a Community destination.
• Create revenue through memberships, event fees, classes, grants, donations,
sponsorships.
Business Plan for a Community Arts Center / Geneva Cultural Arts Commission / City of Geneva, IL P a g e | 7
From all information gathered, the following Mission and Vision Statements were created.
A Mission Statement communicates the organization's reason for being and how it aspires to
serve its key stakeholders. The Vision Statement is a narrower, future-oriented declaration of
the organization's purpose and aspirations.
Mission Statement for a Community Arts Center in Geneva
The Geneva Cultural Arts Center is a place that fosters cultural enrichment through
exhibitions, performances, and classes.
Vision Statement
The Geneva Cultural Arts Center will:
• connect people with common interest in written, visual, and performing arts;
• provide local and regional artists an opportunity to present their work, thereby
enhancing the number and nature of cultural activity in Geneva;
• operate in collaboration with all organizations in the Geneva area involved in the arts;
• integrate in many ways with the Geneva Community, bringing business and increased
visibility to our restaurants, stores, and hotels
The Geneva Cultural Arts Commission was initially established with the belief that arts and
cultural activities across all genres and forms of participation enhance personal
development, and help shape the social and economic identity of a Community. Providing
opportunities for people to come together in creation and celebration of the arts develops
social capital, and strengthens economic development and civic participation.
Facility Program Statement
Translating vision and needs to physical space is done based on anticipated
programming, and attendance or occupancy rates. Keeping in mind that a
modest start is more attainable and growth can be accommodated in the
future, the following information is intended to establish initial, basic
facility requirements. This could be an excellent opportunity for a patron of
the arts to offer support by donating vacant space to establish an initial
location for the Arts Center.
• Located in downtown Geneva with adequate parking for programs and events.
• Flexible, multi-use space to hold events for 50 to 60 guests (standing). The space will
accommodate art exhibits and performances on a small scale: (20’ x 35’) 700 sq. ft.
• Classroom (15 students) / Work Room / Gallery: (20’ x 25’) 500 sq. ft.
• Storage for supplies, equipment, tables and chairs: 150 sq. ft.
Business Plan for a Community Arts Center / Geneva Cultural Arts Commission / City of Geneva, IL P a g e | 8
• Reception / Lobby: 150 sq. ft.
• Administration Office(s): 150 sq. ft.
• Restrooms: 150 sq. ft.
• Mechanical & Electrical Services: Not included - TBD
Total Area Needed: 1,800 sq. ft.
IV. Management Summary
Governance
It is being recommended that the new Community Arts Center will become part of the Geneva
Foundation for the Arts (GFA). Preliminary discussions with GFA have begun and will continue.
Management, Staffing and Volunteers
It is anticipated that an Executive Director or Development Director (Director) will be hired by
GFA. The Director’s salary will be commensurate with his or her ability to generate revenue,
raise money and manage the Center. The success of the Arts Center and salary potential will
depend largely on the Director’s performance. The Director will report to GFA and have the
following responsibilities:
• Grant writing and fundraising
• Budget management and financial reporting
• Program development, scheduling of classes, performances, exhibitions
• Events bookings
Coordinate and collaborate with other organizations
• Organize and supervise volunteers
• Marketing and communications
• Facility Rentals
• Center management
This person should have experience in the field, demonstrated skills in fundraising, public
relations and communication, advertising/marketing ability and will be the public face of the
organization. A part-time Operations Manager might be required to provide leadership, ensure
consistent operations, help manage ticket sales, and be present in the office when the Director
is not available.
A successful operation will demand an effective and well-managed volunteer network. The
Greater Geneva Art Guild will be asked to assist with many aspects of the Arts Center including
Business Plan for a Community Arts Center / Geneva Cultural Arts Commission / City of Geneva, IL P a g e | 9
providing volunteers, organizing exhibits, participating in classes, purchasing memberships and
overall promotion.
The Arts Center will also work closely with the Schools, the Park District, the Geneva Public
Library, and the Geneva Cultural Arts Commission to coordinate and facilitate events.
As the Center grows and generates more revenue staff will be added to fill such roles as
Education Director, Marketing Director, and Ticket Manager. The growth rate of the
organization will determine how rapidly staff is added.
V. Financial Plan
Arts Center Programs
As summarized in the Executive Summary, it is anticipated that the Arts Center will offer a full
range of visual and performance programming including classes for all ages, summer art camps
for children, exhibitions, monthly lectures, demonstrations, and occasional special events. As
fund raising and staffing permits, programming, facility rentals, and studio space will be added.
The first year’s operating budget is based on the following assumptions.
Revenue Generation
Monthly exhibitions will be scheduled. Further discussion with the Art Guild will be
necessary.
Regular classes will be held for all ages with an average of 10 students per class. As a
goal, there will be 6 to 8 classes in each of three semesters with a total of 60 to 80
students per semester, or 180 to 240 annually.
With two performances per month at $12 per ticket, and approximately 40 people per
event, more than $11,000 of revenue will be generated.
Various membership levels will be offered to individuals, families, students and seniors.
The Art Guild already exceeds 50 members and continues to grow. With 200 members
at an average of $60 per member, $12,000 will be generated.
Rental of the Center twice per month will potentially generate $6,000 annually.
Sponsorships and donations will be associated with each event.
An annual fund-raising campaign / appeal will be undertaken.
A special annual fund-raiser gala will potentially raise $20,000 to $25,000 annually.
Art and merchandise sales.
The GFA Board should be developed to include major benefactors.
Business Plan for a Community Arts Center / Geneva Cultural Arts Commission / City of Geneva, IL P a g e | 10
Marketing the Center and its Programs
The key to the success of the Community Arts Center will be the effective marketing of its
programs and events. Along with fundraising and program management, marketing will be the
major responsibility of the Director with assistance from the Board of Directors and volunteers.
Marketing has undergone a major shift from print media to social media via email, Facebook,
Twitter and a host of other web-based operations. This has reduced the cost of print
advertising. However, the center will continue to rely on print media for program, class and
workshop brochures, posters, fliers, press releases and newspaper ads.
Start-up Cost
A start-up cost of $15,000 should be budgeted for equipment and furnishings. This would be an
excellent opportunity for art patrons to donate usable goods to the Arts Center.
Initial Operating Budget
An Initial Operating Budget has been prepared to identify revenue goals and potential
expenses. Once a Director is on board, refinement of the budget will be necessary. At this time,
the budget makes assumptions based setting reasonable goals. Please refer to Appendix D for
further detail.
VI. Strategy and Implementation
Building Public Awareness
The committee will begin a series of activities designed to build public awareness and support.
Such events will be planned in cooperation with the Greater Geneva Arts Guild. Additionally,
public information sessions, printed communications, and a website will continue, building
toward an eventual grand opening.
Developing an Effective Governing Structure
The Geneva Foundation for the Arts (GFA), under its by-laws, is capable of incorporating the
Arts Center within the scope of its operation. A separate committee will likely be established as
the primary governing entity of the Arts Center, which may be comprised of representatives of
other community organizations.
Hiring Professional Staff and Commencing Operations
The governing body could potentially begin recruiting for the Director position in 2017. The
Director will assume responsibility for preparing the Center for commencement of operations.
Business Plan for a Community Arts Center / Geneva Cultural Arts Commission / City of Geneva, IL P a g e | 11
Next Steps
This plan will be presented to the Geneva Cultural Arts Commission (GCAC) for approval and
adoption. Pending approval by GCAC, a presentation will be made to the Geneva City Council
to gain their support for advancing the plan.

After introductions, Commissioners Holzrichter and Portincaso made a brief presentation
about the purpose of the meeting, background of GCAC, Geneva Foundation for the
Arts, GCAC’s thinking to date, and the benefits of cultural arts.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
As summarized by the following comments, there were several topics of discussion that
focused on essential elements to define and establish a Community Arts Center in
Geneva.
Comments from the meeting on 10-31-2015
1. Come up with a vision. Define what and how.
2. The facility should be manageable, and not too big.
3. A clear purpose should be established.
4. Once a needs statement is created, it should be tested within the community.
5. We shouldn’t compete with neighboring performing arts centers.
6. With so many different art-related opportunities and organizations it becomes
confusing as to where to go. It would be good if there was a centralized source to
learn about events and opportunities. Each entity should be clearly defined and
identified. There is confusion about where and when events are held and by
whom.
7. Come up with a way to consolidate various groups and events. Perhaps there
should be an Arts Council to act as a clearinghouse. (Purpose of the Cultural Arts
Commission.)
8. Study other groups and how they operate.
9. Possibly use an existing space at the Park District or Library.
10. Determine if physical presence is truly necessary?
11. For fund raising, there should be an identifiable goal.
12. Inventory of needs and basic requirements should be done.
13. Take inventory of vacant properties in town.
14. Include space for music recitals.
Mission to Establish a Community Arts Center / Community Forums / Page 2 of 2
15. Having a physical location will satisfy cultural needs of the community. 16. A place to exhibit art work or store a special collection would be beneficial. 17. Identify a niche in the community to justify a Community Arts Center. 18. Do something unique. 19. Money can be raised for programming as well as for a building. 20. Method of communication is critical. 21. Put 2010 survey information on line. 22. There is a need for a community gathering space. 23. Proximity to downtown is essential. 24. Several attendees were interested in being a part of the working committee.
Comments from the meeting on 11-5-2015 1. There are more than 50 members in the Greater Geneva Art Guild, and a
Community Arts Center would have their full support. 2. It needs to be a community place where people can explore art. 3. It should be a community destination. 4. A survey conducted by the Park District concluded that cultural art is a large
unmet need. 5. Community Arts Center needs to have a physical presence. 6. The culinary arts should be considered as well. 7. The Geneva Library hears that their programs compete with the Park District,
however, Library programs are normally one-time events. 8. Kids need to be sharing talents in a community gathering space. 9. Creating and managing flexible, multi-use space is difficult. It’s better if spaces
are dedicated to specific uses. 10. Several attendees were interested in being a part of the working committee.
NEXT STEPS 1. A well-rounded working committee will be formed. 2. Community Arts Centers in other communities will be visited to find out what works. 3. Other facilities/organizations will be studied and assessed to determine the best
approach. 4. Additional meetings with local interests groups and organizations will be
conducted. 5. A business plan will be created to address all aspects to establish a successful
Community Arts Center. The business plan for the Community Arts Center in Portsmouth, RI will be used as a model.

1. The meeting was called to order at 9:00 am.
2. There were no corrections or additions to the 2/23/2016 Meeting Summary.
3. Larry Johnson / Research Sub-Committee presented a comprehensive report of
comparable community art centers throughout the country. Information was
gathered using the internet, by phone calling and email inquiries. The research
provided data about property acquisition, revenue generation, governance,
staffing, program offerings and essential factors for success. An outline of the
presentation was distributed along with a matrix of information for 47 arts centers
around the country. Additionally, a packet of information was prepared to support
the importance of arts in a community, especially regarding economic impact.
Other members of the Research Sub-Committee include Pat Bouvat, Nicole
Vickers and Mary Ann Diggory.
4. Jean Gains and Jeanne Dyer / Location/Real Estate Sub-Committee presented
information on three properties that could meet the initial criteria for a community
arts center. The three property addresses were 426 S. Third Street (1,390 SF); 230 E.
State Street (2,154 SF); and 214 W. State Street (2,200 SF). Based on the information
presented, the property on Third Street was most appealing based on its location,
layout and available parking. However, it may be undersized.
5. Other properties in town such as the Post Office and City Hall were discussed as
future prospects. However, they will likely not be feasible or available at this time.
Geneva Community Arts Center Planning Committee / Meeting Summary / April 16, 2016 / Page 2 of 2
6. It was noted that the role of the Greater Geneva Art Guild will be vital, and the
Geneva Foundation for the Arts may need to broaden their charter as it relates to
their future role with a Community Arts Center.
7. Mission and Vision Statements will be created to reflect the extensive community
and focus group input received to date – place for artists to work; place for
community gathering; flexible; clearing house for the arts in Geneva; physical
presence for the arts, place to see, learn and do art; home for cultural arts in
Geneva; should contribute positively to the City’s culture and economy. Craig
Maladra volunteered to prepare statements for review.
8. The next meeting is scheduled for Saturday, May 14, 2016; 9:00 am at the Geneva
Chamber of Commerce on Third Street. The following updates and discussion
topics will be on the agenda:
a. Updates on discussions with the Foundation for the Arts, the Greater
Geneva Art Guild, and the City (Mayor and City Administrator) regarding
future roles.

1. The meeting was called to order at 8:00 pm.
2. A summary of preliminary Management and Revenue Generation goals was
issued for review.
3. The following comments were offered regarding management and governance:
a. Initially, it may make sense to establish a Board of Directors, potentially
comprised of representatives from other organizations such as the Park
District, Library, Art Guild and Arts Commission.
b. The Board overseeing the Center should be comprised of members who
also lead by providing financial support.
c. Having the Arts Center under control of a Foundation will likely have many
advantages. Further discussions with the Geneva Foundation for the Arts
will be held to explore the possibility of expanding their charter.
d. It was generally agreed that hiring a director will be necessary. This
position could also be referred to as a Development Officer with fund
raising as a primary responsibility.
e. Consideration should be given to how the Center is staffed after hours -
during rental events and classes.
f. The role of the Art Guild will be important as a volunteer source. Members
of the Guild will also benefit by having the opportunity to sell art.
4. When announcements are made to the community, the message must be clear,
informative and concise.
5. We should be ready to move ahead if a building becomes available.

6. Revenue generation goals should be further defined. More detail should be
provided for class sizes, frequency, rental potential, etc.
7. Follow-up tasks will include the following:
a. Michael Olesen will contact Attorney Clyde Jones for an opinion on
Foundation involvement, and whether the Arts Center can have a
separate Board?
b. Doug Holzrichter will pursue further discussions with the existing Geneva
Foundation for the Arts.
c. Doug Holzrichter and Larry Johnson will work together to create a draft of
an operations budget based on research completed by Larry’s sub-
committee.
8. The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 pm.

1. The meeting was called to order at 4:00 pm. GFA conducted their normal business.
2. Doug presented a progress report on business planning for a Community Arts
Center. A draft report/business plan is scheduled to be completed in July. Doug
explained the process, the sub-committees, and the work completed. Ownership
and management structure has yet to be resolved. However, based on research
by the Planning Committee, it is typical to have a Not-for-Profit Foundation
involved as the owner/management entity. Since GFA is already established, it
seems logical for them to expand their charter and assume ownership of a
Community Arts Center. As such, Doug asked GFA to consider such a request.
3. Tim provided an update on his meeting with Elizabeth Bellaver, immediate past
president of the St. Charles Arts Council, and their efforts to establish an Arts
Center. They have had support from businesses and individuals, including a major
benefactor. The SCAC is in the process of purchasing a building on Main Street in
downtown St. Charles. Their business plan is very ambitious and relies on meeting a
variety of revenue goals.
4. GFA asked questions about budget and location. The overall operating budget is
being compiled and will likely be in the neighborhood of $225,000 annually for the
first year. It was agreed that a convenient, downtown location is desirable.
5. A question was also asked about whether community support has been
measured. Doug provided information about the survey conducted in 2011. This
information will also be part of the final report.
6. It was agreed that the Community Arts Center Business Plan should suggest that
GFA be involved as the Owner/Management entity.
