Develop allowable arts events list and approvals.
Developing a working list of arts events that do not require permits to be held in designated park spaces would provide transparency and streamline operations. For example, small performances by pre-approved arts organizations without amplification or small interpretive drama without permanent structures should ideally be allowed in parks in a way that contributes to the use of space. This concept relates to cultural programming and creative placemaking in City parks. RAP and the RAP Board would review a list of arts organizations that apply to be on the “pre-approved” list for events on a recurring basis. Events would need to reserve space in advance through the reservation system at individual parks. The types of allowable activities would be limited and groups would lose privileges if one of the allowances was broken.
