Public commenter outlines 'Map of Funk' concept to commission
Summary
A public commenter presented a proposed 'Map of Funk' tour linking regional artists and museums and asked the commission to consider recognition and a lifetime-achievement award; a folder with materials was left for commissioners.
A public commenter urged the Benicia Arts & Culture Commission to support a 'Map of Funk' tour highlighting artists connected to UC Davis and the Bay Area art movement of the 1960s–70s. The commenter described the project as "a tour that begins at UC Davis" and asked the commission to review a folder of materials left for members.
The commenter pointed to local connections and historical figures and requested formal recognition gestures, saying they had "requested a lifetime achievement award for both, Bob Artisan and Manuel Neri." Commissioners thanked the speaker for the materials but noted the public-comment period time limits and moved the meeting to the next agenda item.
