I appreciate that you acknowledge that 30.3% of Duval county's population is African/Black American. However, what percentage of this population and other populations of color are represented on your board and staff, and in your programming? Your evaluation plan would serve you better if you used it to address how you assess your progress on achieving the goals and objectives you articulated at the beginning of your proposal. Can you explain the increase in your personnel?

I appreciate that the Cultural Council embraces its role as an advocate for the arts in Greater Jacksonville, and that it brokers new opportunities for arts organizations to grow with their communities (like partnering with PNC). Its commitment to artists through funding, networking and professional development opportunities is commendable. Also noteworthy is the agency's leadership in developing public art and public spaces, as well as its enlarged and enlightened understanding of accessibility. While it is certainly appropriate for the council to focus its limited resources to achieve deep impact in arts education, it seems plausible that the agency may be able to leverage its track record to benefit additional schools in the future.

Applicants unsure of how to lay out goals, objectives, activities and timeline so far out should look to this as a model application.

Thanks for sharing your hashtag marketing strategy. It's a great idea for LAAs to amplify the message in the community.

I would like to learn more about the decreasing marketing budget in the current FY - projected to continue in the grant period FY.

Can you tell me more about the increased state/regional support in the current FY - projected to continue the upward trend in the grant period FY.

Please note that VSA has moved away from its "very special arts" branding some years ago.

Clear mission, work plan, implementation strategies.

I applaud the cultural equity work -- which identifies the gaps and informs goals and accountability.  Excellent work on this front, and on community engagement.
