BACKGROUND
The Cultural Organizations Program (COP) provides funding for cultural services with established Dallas-based non-profit cultural organizations to support an array of programs that include concerts, plays, exhibitions, performances, workshops, and other cultural services, including virtual cultural services, over a twelve-month period. The Office of Arts and Culture (OAC) reviewed proposals from cultural organizations and applied objective administrative scoring per the revised program guidelines, which were approved by City Council in June 2020. Proposals and scores were analyzed by the Allocations Committee of the Arts and Culture Advisory Commission. Taking into account equity, administrative scoring, and organization budget size the Allocations Committee met three times over the summer and developed a funding recommendation unanimously approved by this standing committee. This recommendation was subsequently unanimously approved by the full Arts and Culture Advisory Commission in August.
