Summary

Staff reported electrical upgrades at Pacific View Art Center, summer camps and classes with prorated enrollments, sold‑out Music by the Sea concerts, banners and exhibitions across city sites, and the appointment of Lorett Garner to the arts team.

Acting assistant center manager Jessica Roberts reported multiple programming and facility updates for Pacific View Art Center and the broader cultural arts portfolio.

Roberts said electrical upgrades at Pacific View are nearly complete and that summer camps and fall course scheduling are underway; the center offers prorated enrollment for classes that start after the first session and senior scholarships are available. She highlighted Arts Alive banner installations along Highway 101 and said the banner launch drew about 300 attendees and 28 bids on banners.

Roberts also listed upcoming events and deadlines: artist calls for 2027 exhibitions (deadline Aug. 23), environmental‑award submissions (deadline June 26), Music by the Sea concerts (some already sold out) and the Toronto Music Festival (July 17–19). She said open‑jam and open‑studio sessions are running through June and July and promoted an Art Venture day trip for residents 50 and up.

Director Dave Kn. and new arts program manager Lorett Garner introduced staff updates; Garner described her background in Costa Mesa and Carlsbad and said she will support programming and partnerships as the city implements PVAC priorities.
