Community
a) Describe your community.
b) How is it changing?
We suggest you use about 250 words.
Auburn is described as a city of "twos": two nations (USA and Muckleshoot Tribe), two counties (King
and Pierce), two legislative districts (47 and 31), and two rivers (White and Green) and these unique
distinctions define much of the city's character. Auburn serves as both the regions employment hub, as
well as a 100+ year old community that has a strong sense of self as well as regional identity and
history. The current population of 70,705 has grown from 49,000 in 2006 with the annexation of
previously unincorporated surrounding communities. Outside city boundaries, Auburn regularly serves
audiences northward to Kent, East to Enumclaw, West to Federal Way and South to Puyallup..Auburn's
audiences are diverse in background, ethnicity and age.
Ethnic minorities make up 29.5% of Auburns population (17.5% speak a language other than English at
home), with large communities of Hispanic, Asian, American Indian (Muckleshoot), and Ukrainian
Americans. Persons below poverty level in Auburn is 14.1% (versus the Washington state average of
12.1%). Geographically, Auburn consists of the .valley and the surrounding hill communities (Lea Hill and
Lakeland Hills). The surrounding hillsides are largely planned newer developments that were incorporated
in 2006 and serve as bedroom communities (commuters).
Programming
a) How does your programming respond to your community needs?
b) What program are you most proud of and why?
We suggest you use about 250 words.
a) The Cultural Arts Division works to provide a well-rounded comprehensive arts programs that include
visual art displays, live performances, concerts, festivals, and public art program, in order to provide
access to art through various interests as well as free and ticketed opportunities.
We seek to develop relationships with various communities, encourage their participation, and showcase
culture. In the past four years as part of Auburn's largest free festival (4th of July, est. attendance
12,000) arts staff worked closely with the Community Services division to implement a "Cultural Stage"
in which local groups and communities are invited to perform (Taiko, Marshallese Stick Dancing, Ballet
Folkloric, Ukrainian Jazz Band). Based on the success of this stage, an 'International Festival" is now in
its second year that occurs the 2nd week in August. A variety of local communities are invited to
participate in the planning as well as performing on stage. The timing of this festival complements the
100 year old "Auburn Good OI' Days" (that is not a City organized festival) and provides a new energy
and new perspective on Auburn's population.
b) There are several items that we are very proud, many of which are referred to in separate sections of
this application, including the success of the Community Players Community Theater productions, working
closely with Auburn Valley Creative Arts group as well as the Auburn Art Walk volunteer committee in
their formative stages, being able to leverage 4Culture funding to continue to implement new
programming (Storefronts and Outdoor Sculpture Gallery), and the successful collaboration
interdepartmentally to increase arts and arts accessibility in Auburn.
Management
a) How is your agency structured?
b) How do you collaborate with other municipal departments and community agencies?
c) How does your agency foster the development of art,local artists,and local arts organizations?
We suggest you use about 250 words.
a) City of Auburn Arts Commission is a local government agency founded by ordinance, comprised of an
file:///Ri/...ty%20of%20Auburn%20Arts%20Commission/City%20of%20Auburn%20Arts%20Commission_0001_fieldData.html[3/20/2013 3:58:33 PM]
I
appointed (by Mayor and Council) 12-member advisory board whose purpose is to advise staff in order
to offer quality arts programs and services for the citizens of Auburn.
The City of Auburn Arts Commission staff is within the Parks, Arts and Recreation Division of the City of
Auburn. The staff consists of an Arts and Events Manager, Arts Coordinator, Theater Operations
Specialist, and a part-time Arts and Events Assistant.
b) Arts staff has very strong collaborative ties with various departments specific examples include
Planning, Community Services, and Parks Maintenance.
For example:
• Planning and Arts staff successfully partnered for the implementation of Storefronts Auburn as well as
the upcoming Outdoor Sculpture Gallery through sharing of funding/grant resources and task division
• Community Services is an important partner through the communication of arts opportunities to the
various neighborhoods and community meetings, as well as the Community Based Services Grant
availability that has allowed for the creation of 7 mural projects over the past 3 years.
• Parks Maintenance staff have been proponents and advocates of art within the infrastructure of the
parks. Assisting with all aspects of the public artwork that is sited, but also initiating new.programs such
as "poetry in sidewalks" (etching the poetry written by our new Poet Laureate in concrete areas that are
being fixed/replaced throughout the Park system)
We very much pride ourselves on working collaboratively, and these are just three examples.
c) The Auburn Arts Commission fosters the development of art, local artists, and local arts organizations
by a combination of funding support and programming that brings similar interest groups together with
mentorship and learning.
• In 2012 we were able to re-grant $12,000 of 4Culture Sustained Support to local arts groups and
initiatives. (Auburn Good OI' Days $2100, Auburn Student Art Display/Auburn School District $800,
Uniquely Auburn $2000, Auburn International Farmers Market $1500, White River Valley Museum's Small
Works, Big Presents Exhibifion $2000, Auburn Art Walk $2000,'Northwest Renaissance poetry workshop
$600, Empty Bowls $1000). Also funded but outside of the re-grant process is Opera in Schools $2200
and Auburn Symphony Orchestra.
• Bringing artists together through programming and events allows for a synergy and supports and
builds an artistic community. Auburn Community Players is a City program that was formed after the
local non-profit Auburn Regional Theater ended operations. The twice yearly production brings
approximately 30 local actors together to present live theater as well as a environment of mentorship.
The gallery program has served as an entry point for many beginning artists that benefit from the
learning experience of how to work with a "gallery" as well as meet local artists as part of a public
reception.
Future
a) What plans does your agency have for advancing its mission?
b) What are the challenges?
c) If Sustained Support funding were reduced or eliminated, how would your activities be impacted?
We suggest you use about 250 words.
a) The Mission of the City of Auburn Arts Division is to serve the citizens of Auburn by fostering cultural
growth and enrichment, sponsoring programs representative of the entire arts spectrum and providing
programs that are reflective of the growing diversity of the population of the City of Auburn.
Continuation of the wide variety of arts programming and opportunities takes center stage for planning
into the future. Immediate future plans for new programming run parallel to many of the downtown
initiatives and economic development efforts. We have started conversations regarding code revision
allowing live-work spaces and strengthening guidelines and resources for integrating art into private
development. An example of cross departmental (economic development/facilities/arts) partnership
resulted in the City recently leasing a City-owned space to the Auburn Valley Creative Arts Cooperative
file:///RJ/...ty%20of%20Auburn%20Arts%20Commission/City%20of%20Au burn%20Arts%20Commission_0001_field Data.htm1[3/20/2013 3:58:33 PM]
group (which had its first business experience through the Storefront program).
The Arts Staff and Arts Commission are continually looking for opportunities that will allow Auburn to rise
as a City of the Arts while working to provide quality arts experiences to all Auburn citizens.
b) Auburn faces many of the same economic challenges as the rest of King County and mid-sized local
government agencies. Auburn's Mayor and Council, however, are extremely supportive of the arts and
understands the importance of a vibrant arts community to the quality of life for its citizens.
An ongoing goal, as well as challenge, is to increase, support and build the number of Auburn arts
organizations. In comparison to other jurisdictions, the City of Auburn has relatively few non-profit arts
organizations providing public arts programming. In order to build an artistic community, staff time is
directed toward the assistance mentorshi of beginning organizations. For example, It has Ion been a
i c t / P 9 9 9 P 9
desire of the City to have an Arts Walk, so when a group of volunteers expressed interest in starting this
program, City arts staff has been the advocate, advisor and assistant for the first two years of the
program. This allowed the volunteer committee to build a successful program that they could then carry
forward into the future without adding it as a City program and budgetary expense.
In working to serve diverse communities (ethnic, financial, and geographic) this model as an incubator
could potentially to overcome the challenges of time and finances. By partnering with invested
individuals, staff can provide city assistance with the goal that the program can be carried forward within
the community.
c) We are extremely proud to be able to leverage 4Culture funding to implement new programming that
is then accepted into the general operating budget for the City. In 2009 & 10 part of the 4Culture
Sustained Support funding supported the new ArtRageous festival which is now in the annual budget. In
2011 the funding supported the implementation of Storefronts Auburn, and 2012 is supporting the
Outdoor Sculpture Gallery both of which will likely become annually supported programs (we are
currently going through our bi-annual budgeting cycle for 2013 & 14). In addition to supporting the wide
variety of community based projects and initiatives, the funding allows for the flexibility to `test' new
programming that otherwise we would not have the opportunity to explore.
The 4Culture funding allows us to be innovative and responsive. Without this funding, any new project or
initiative would have to go through the regular budgeting cycle and be an unproven/unknown program
which would greatly lessen the potential of being approved. That flexibility of this unrestricted funding
has also been the primary factor in partnering inter-departmentally, because the arts budget can bring
something to the table and be a true partner.
