Arts and Culture Committee meeting July 27, 2026

The City of San Clemente Arts and Culture Committee held a meeting on July 27, 2026, focusing primarily on planning and organizing cultural and historical initiatives within the city. Key procurement-related discussions included the formation of subcommittees to support historic resource preservation, public art projects such as murals and utility box art, and cultural events like the Tamale Festival. The committee also discussed the development of their fiscal year 2026-27 work plan, which includes priorities such as public art, cultural programming, amphitheater feasibility, centennial planning, and historical resource collaboration. Motions were passed to consider these items in the work plan and to schedule an update on the amphitheater project for a future meeting. Additionally, the committee elected Sherman Fowler as chair and Amanda Greco as vice chair. While no direct contract awards or vendor selections were mentioned, the committee emphasized collaboration with local organizations and city staff to advance arts and culture projects, some of which may involve future procurement activities.
