"The city's model of delivering its arts services exclusively through RACC needed to evolve," said Darion Jones, emphasizing a shift toward a more inclusive approach to grant distribution.
Commissioner Dan Ryan's office announced the city would seek out proposals from multiple organizations for grant management, marking a significant procedural change.
Greg Netzer mentioned the conversations regarding the grant program's future were sparked by a 2018 audit recommending the city to develop clear goals and strategy for arts and culture.
The newly established Office of Arts and Culture symbolizes Portland's commitment to revising its approach to arts funding, promising potential improvements for struggling artists and organizations.
