MEMORANDUM:
Tp: Village Council
FROM: Thomas G. Bradford, Village Manager ,/ �
DATE: November 22, 1993
SUBJECT: Liqhthouse Gallery Request for Grant; Aqenda Item
Attached hereto, please find correspondence from the President of
Lighthouse Gallery, Sue Ellen Mosler, requesting a Tequesta grant
in the amount of $5000 for FY 93/94. At your meeting on November
18, I forecast that such a request would be forthcoming. For
virtually all of the reasons given for supporting BRITT, except for
perhaps the promotion of Tequesta, the Lighthouse Gallery should,
likewise, be supported. _ '
BRITT and the Lighthouse Gallery are the only two cultural
organizations that I will recommend the Council support. These are
the only two cultural organizatiions based within Tequesta proper.
Any other requests will, in all likelihood, be recommended for
denial.
It is recommended that the Village Council approve a$5000 grant to
the Lighthouse Gallery and School of Art for FY 1993-94, with
funding for the same to be made by the Water Enterprise Fund and a
necessary budgetary amendment to be made in the near future.

Dear Tom:
On behalf of the Lighthouse Gallery Board of Directors,
. I would like to request that the Village of Tecauesta
Council consider a grant of $5,000 for 1993-94 and
suQSequent years for the Lighthouse Gallery and Schooi
of Art.
The Galiery has established its reputa�ion for Guality,
professionalism and credibility in the community. li is
a recognize�+ center for cultural and related activities
as well as an outstanding schooi of the �rts. lt aiso
provides a beautiful facility where artists_can exhibit
their works.
Tne Gal?ery is a not-for-profit corporation that must
derive finarcia� support from memberships, art sales,
; nstruct i on and f und ra i s i ng ever.ts . These , however , are
r.ot sufficier.t to meet our� needs. Tnerefore, it is
necessary to appea] to other sources for supplementary
assistar.ce. it is for this reason that i am initiating
this recuest to the Council to aoprove a$5,000 grant
for the LigFthouse Gallery and School of Art.
I am sure you agree that the Tequesta commun i ty benef i ts
from the caltural stimulus provided �y the Lighthouse
Gallery and Schoo] of Art and that ii is inc�eed a
valuable resource for this area.
Please see attached brief outline of and events
for 1992-93.
S'ncerely,
ue-Ellen G. Mosle
