Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council Nevada County Arts Council agrees to reporting requirements (including Interim and Final Reports), agrees to send a representative contingent to any CAC-convenings, and will work with its partners— Truckee Arts Alliance, The Town of Truckee, Truckee Chamber and Truckee Downtown Merchants Association—to build upon the successes of foundational cultural planning already achieved to help Truckee Cultural District become a unique community of practice and action that carries the legacy of our historically underrepresented communities, and which is a place of belonging for all peoples. Truckee Cultural District will rent office space sufficient for a Program Manager, an Assistant, and Social Media Coordinator, as needed. This will provide a community focus and hub for convening, while we work to reduce our reliance on snow-based tourism as climate change continues.
