Sedona AZ (May 9, 2014) – The City of Sedona is hosting an open listening session for artists in the community to discuss the possibility of drafting an ordinance to allow for street performances.
You are cordially invited to share your ideas and meet City of Sedona staffers Audree Juhlin, Interim Director of Community and Economic Development; Cynthia Lovely, Associate Planner; Glenn Sharshon, Senior Code Enforcement Officer; and Nancy Lattanzi, Arts and Culture Coordinator.
We would specifically like to hear from community artists and their experiences with communities allowing street performances. Additionally, we want to learn where and when artists are interested in performing.
Discussed will be community opportunities and obstacles that currently exist or do not exist for street performers. Once a solid idea of the “who, what, where, and when” of street performance art is reached, the City will engage other segments of our community (e.g. property and business owners and residents) to gather input from their perspectives.
If you are a community artist interested in this topic, please participate in this important process and join us Monday, May 19, 2014, from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. in the Vultee Conference Room, Sedona City Hall, 102 Roadrunner Drive.
Contact Nancy Lattanzi, Arts and Culture Coordinator, at 928-203-5078 or email NLattanzi@SedonaAZ.gov with questions.
