Sedona AZ (June 4, 2014) – The City of Sedona is hosting a second open listening session for artists in our community to discuss the possibility of drafting an ordinance to allow for street performance opportunities. There is a wealth of artists who live in Sedona and we would like to learn what your needs are, if there is interest for street performance opportunities and, if so, how we may help facilitate this for our local talent to make performing easier.
You are cordially invited to come share your ideas and meet City staffers Nick Gioello, Development Services Manager, Cynthia Lovely, Associate Planner and Nancy Lattanzi, Arts & Culture Coordinator.
We would specifically like to hear from local artists and their experience with communities who allow for street performances. Additionally, we want to learn where and when you might want to perform in our area. We will discuss the opportunities and obstacles in our community that currently exist or do not exist for street performers. Once we have a solid idea of the “who, what, where, and when” of this concept, we will then reach out to other segments of our community such as the 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, June 16 from 5:30 p.m.to 7:00 p.m. in the Vultee Conference Room at City Hall, located at 102 Roadrunner Drive. For further questions, please contact Nancy Lattanzi, Arts & Culture Coordinator, at 928-203-5078 or email NLattanzi@SedonaAZ.gov.
