"While the amount of funding was increased to open the process to music venues for the first time, the larger award amounts have received criticism in the creative community because fewer total awards were available."
"Pat Buchta, CEO of Austin Texas Musicians, during a presentation at last week's commission meeting offered some of the comments the group has received, shedding light on the negative impacts of fewer awardees."
"Buchta noted that bringing the comments to light shows the need for the city and other stakeholders to provide more information and assistance to applicants."
"Some of the talking points or comments may just point to the fact that there is a lack of communication concerning the application and scoring process, which leads to misunderstandings."
