Performance space and venue locations.Several workshop participants indicated that there is a need for <br />more performance spaces and/or dedicated locations to display art. <br /> “Lack of dedicated spaces, curated exhibitions and coordinated informational campaigns.” <br />“Parking limits attendance and a reputation for limited parking precludes consideration of <br />an event.” <br /> “I don’t know of any place in San Marcos that is a proper venue for a variety of music.” <br />Diversity and inclusiveness. Several participants commented that the lack of diversity and inclusiveness in <br />programming was a barrier to participating in the arts. <br /> “I’d like to see the cultural, language, and economic barriers really come down.” <br />“More confluence between the University and in the community would be beneficial. Also, <br />more exposure of and support for artists of color less on the map.” <br /> “It seems a little too self-contained. It is always the same participant/attendants keeping it <br />alive. I don’t see much Hispanic public involvement.” <br />“San Marcos is fairly notorious for not checking to see what it’s very diverse population <br />wants, or checking to see what other groups are doing.” <br />Time. A few workshop respondents indicated that they simply do not have the time to attend arts events. <br /> “Time can be a restraint and then just simply … am I interested.” <br /> “A lot of the art markets are during the day on the weekend and since I work during the day, <br />am unable to participate.” <br /> <br />KEEN INDEPENDENT RESEARCH — SAN MARCOS ARTS MASTER PLAN 2022 APPENDIX F,PAGE 12 <br /> <br />
