Vision San Marcos - A River Runs Through Us
Background Information:
Dr. Shetay Ashford of The P2P Movement formed a group of individuals and organizations who are interested in restoring the old First Baptist Church on MLK Street. Through their meetings, a vision to create a Dunbar Arts, Cultural, and Innovation District emerged. The application process for the Texas Commission on the Arts Cultural District Designation program requires a letter or resolution of support from the city.
City Council was briefed on cultural arts districts at a work session on May 1, 2018 and directed staff to prepare a resolution for the May 15 council agenda supporting The P2P Movement's application.
