| Arts organizations get a financial boost
A resolution was passed during Tuesdays meeting, R 2004-064, which formed an Economic Development Advisory Committee. The purpose of this committee is to advise the city council on economic development in the community.
Within that resolution was an amendment that allocated $25,000 to help fix the roof, front façade and other structural problems at the Del Rio Council for the Arts Firehouse.
Because of community support of arts organizations, such as this resolution, now is a good time for non-profit arts organizations in Del Rio. With the Casa Del La Cultura gaining an adobe museum in the coming year and with the Firehouse undergoing renovations with the help of donations and the city, both are able to continue promoting the arts in the community.
Renovations done at the Firehouse could be seen during Julys First Friday Art Walk on July 7.
