Pullman arts commission pushes creative-district plans; asks for 1% for the arts in CIP
Summary
The Arts Commission, represented by Desiree Greystone, described initial steps to pursue Washington state Creative District designation, plans for rotating exhibits, an online visual-arts database and a potential 1% for the arts allocation for the capital improvement plan.
Desiree Greystone presented the Arts Commission’s annual report and said the commission is beginning the process to register Pullman as a Washington State creative district. She described project priorities that include continuing utility-box art wraps, creating a rotating city exhibit, building an online visual-arts database, and encouraging live performances and culinary arts as part of the creative-district concept. Greystone said the commission plans to request a 1% for the arts allocation in the capital-improvement plan but noted that “right now we have no budget.”
Council members asked about likely boundaries for a creative district, potential partners including the Downtown Pullman Association and the Schnitzer (Schnitzer) art gallery at WSU, and whether the district would prioritize walkability and accessibility. Greystone said the group is still defining criteria and boundaries and expects a lead entity (nonprofit, downtown association, or another group) must demonstrate viability, including a budget threshold used in the state application process.
