Committee approves submitting county grant application to seed two-day Main Street art festival
Summary
The committee approved pursuing a county cultural grant (requesting $7,500 county match) to seed a two-day art festival on Main Street, and authorized staff to prepare the application and identify local matching funds.
The Miami Lakes Senior Committee approved moving forward with a grant application to the county's cultural funding program to seed a two-day Main Street art festival. The committee agreed to seek a $7,500 county grant that would be matched by the town or local sponsors.
Committee members said a modest two-day art festival on Main Street could attract vendors, artisans and visitors while remaining smaller than larger regional festivals. The committee asked staff to refine the application language to align with county grant requirements and to return with a clear plan for matching funds (sponsorship packages and committee budget requests).
The motion passed by voice vote. Staff were asked to coordinate with the grants manager for submission and to present the final application and a proposed match plan at the next meeting.
