32 <br />City of San Marcos Arts Master Plan <br />San Marcos Music and Art Fest –Annual show, two days of music and local <br />artists!Ex: Gruene Day Festival! <br />Hold an art festival downtown. <br />Host 3rd Fridays; downtown businesses give wall space to art hangings; have <br />different bands on fourcorners of square; downtown dinner theater performers. <br />Support public performance of classical or folk music; attract opera companies to <br />San Marcos to perform once a quarter at Texas Music Theatre. <br />Partnership between city and cultural arts groups focused on projects and <br />events. <br />GENERAL COMMENTS <br />The bulk of this survey is not applicable –city should not fund many of these <br />things or determine activities in schools, churches, or university. <br />Way too much information on this survey; I understand these are items that have <br />been previously discussed, but many items are far too detailed and many are <br />duplicative.Must be edited/shortened/focused. <br />Very much like the notion of involving businesses and helping them understand <br />the valueof arts in the community; conversely, also appreciated the ‘let’s do it!’ <br />attitude of many participants.There is room for bothof these types of people. <br />Involve businesses in these programs –they are half of the equation. <br />ASSET INVENTORY AND SCHEMATIC <br />The Cultural Map of San Marcos was created to highlight points of interest in the San <br />Marcos Arts and Culture community.In order to develop an all-inclusive map, we <br />surveyed the existing establishments in San Marcos, compiled them into an Asset <br />Inventory, and grouped them according to type.The groups include Museums, <br />Galleries, Historic Venues, Organizations, Music Venues, Event Venues, and Hike and <br />Bike Trails.An additional group for Public Art may be added in the future.Some <br />establishments are listed twice; The Coffee Pot, for example, offers both live music and <br />gallery shows. <br />Michelle Hays, a faculty member at Texas State University’s School of Art and Design, <br />designed and created the Cultural Mapas seen below.Themap will serve as a <br />valuable tool for arts and culture tourism, and can be made available on the internet in <br />various forms. It will be accompanied by a list of arts and culture organizations in San <br />Marcos with additional contact information.The schematic is included as Appendix B. <br /> <br />
