COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 10/4/2005
DATE: Tuesday, October 04, 2005
LOG NAME: 0320051 MAGI NATN REFERENCE NO.: **C-21047
SUBJECT:
Authorize the Execution of a Contract with Imagination Celebration Fort Worth
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract in the amount of
$50,000 with Imagination Celebration Fort Worth.
DISCUSSION:
The Kennedy Center Imagination Celebration program began in 1977 as an outreach project of the John F.
Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. It was created to develop arts awareness in school children and
an arts alliance between educators, their arts counterparts and the community cultural network.
Imagination Celebration Fort Worth, a seed of that program, was created and developed through a
partnership between the Fort Worth Independent School District and the community cultural
network. Imagination Celebration Fort Worth, Inc. has since become an independent non-profit
organization.
In most communities the Imagination Celebration programs center on art festivals for young people. In Fort
Worth, Imagination Celebration offers a year long program that coordinates and partially funds the
educational outreach programs of the leading arts and cultural institutions in our area. All programs are co-
curricular and intended not only to enrich students learning experiences, but also to be a direct component
of daily classroom curriculum and to relate to the basic elements of learning.
Through Imagination Celebration partnerships, a large number of students are reached with their first
exposure to the arts. Particularly targeted are students with special needs and from lower socio-economic
levels.
During the FY2005-06 budget process, the City Council approved financial support in the amount of
$50,000 for Imagination Celebration Fort Worth. It is proposed that a contract be executed between the
City of Fort Worth and Imagination Celebration Fort Worth for the period of October 1, 2005, through
September 30, 2006.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that funds have been budgeted in the FY2005-2006 General Fund adopted
budget for this expenditure.
