Palm Springs Black History Committee
Thursday, February 9, 2023
Good evening, Mayor Garner and City Council Members,
This letter is to serve as support for the City of Palm Springs Public Arts’ monetary
collaboration with us, the Palm Springs Black History Committee in the amount of $3,333.
We, the Palm Springs Black History Committee collaborate every year with the Palm Springs
Art Museum for Black History Month. This year’s collaboration consisted of various events
that take place every Thursday during the month of February that range from art
installation pieces, the Mayor Garner reading the proclamation for Black History Month,
youth plays, lectures and/or art lessons from well-known artists, and etc…
This year, due to the costs associated with the month-long events throughout Black
History Month, totaled well over $8,000, so with the monetary contribution from the Public
Arts Commission will help.
We hope that you approve the Public Arts Commission monetary contribution to the
Palm Springs Black History Committee and make your way down to see the art display of
“The Black Resistance” and enjoy the Black History Month Nights at the Museum.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Palm Springs Black History Committee
