3 Why a Cultural Plan? Avon s highly valued quality of life and includes the variety of signature, special and community enrichment events. Throughout Town are art installations and new investments in event venues, improved streetscapes and initiatives to improve mobility. The recently adopted Town of Avon Properties Plan envisions an educational/entrepreneurial/cultural and recreational center in Avon. Taken together, these attributes comprise key elements of Avon s culture, contributing to building community spirit, social cohesion, community engagement and positive experiences. Daily life and tourism centered on music, arts, events, festivals, and heritage thrive in a vibrant cultural environment. Equally important are the Town s cultural enterprises to Avon s business community in Colorado s competitive resort communities. Jobs are generated and Avon s businesses benefit from tourist visits. The potential to have a seasonal balance in Avon s sales and lodging taxes is a viable outcome from investments in cultural offerings and the creative arts. Avon is particularly well poised to continue to create, support and monitor cultural initiatives that nurture community vitality and creativity. The Town of Avon Cultural Plan is a tool to transform vision into strategies, which: Align events with the Avon Brand Platform and be of a quality commensurate with Avon's image as a community Attract and develop cultural, artistic, educational, enrichment and recreational and events that enhance and contribute to Avon's reputation as a great place to live, work, visit and create, and have a positive impact on the community Cultivate creative, educational and enrichment events that will provide opportunity for intellectual dialogue Encourage activation of events to create an expanded presence throughout the community and stimulate the participation of the merchants, residents and restaurants, and lodges Deliver exceptional experiences through a variety of music, recreational, theatre, education and community enrichment programs to our guests and residents Attract destination guests; in-state, out-of-state and international; providing a superior community and guest experience Drive positive economic impact, with increased lodging occupancy, restaurant and retail sales Draw local, regional and national media exposure Grow the status of Avon as the model among mountain communities with respect to the development and implementation of special events strategy delivering significant economic benefits Achieve an optimal and diverse event and cultural activities calendar Demonstrate that cultural activities are a revenue provider for the town, while simultaneously making Avon a more vibrant place to live, work and play.

4 Vision Cultural offering, including the arts and special events, are valuable contributors to Avon s character, quality of life and economy. Mission Strengthen the vibrancy and activity of the Avon community by recommending and overseeing an annual portfolio of cultural, artistic, educational, recreational, special events and activities. Purpose The purpose of the Town of Avon Cultural Plan is to establish priorities and initiatives which will guide the Town of Avon in developing and supporting a calendar of events, activities and programs that uphold the Avon Brand Platform. Strategies 1. Attract, Retain and Support Special Events The Town will seek to attract, retain and support three categories of special events: 1.1 Develop and Retain Signature Events A signature event is synonymous with the Town of Avon. Recognition of a strong Avon brand for the event must be equal to or greater than the brand and/or name of the sponsoring organization, producer or owner of the event. The event must attract a minimum of 4,000 persons per day and drive overnight visitation with economic benefits, including but not limited to increased lodging stays and higher retail and restaurant sales. The promotion and marketing of the event has wide and successful exposure in State and national markets. Community benefits are required, including participation which reflects the demographic profile of the Town. The event provides a superior community and guest experience 1.2 Develop and Support a Portfolio of Diverse Special Events Events, which have attracted or are expected to attract participants from Avon residents, the Vail Valley and guests from outside of the Vail Valley, are defined as special events. The special events provide entertainment, educational, recreational and/or artistic programming. These events are important economic drivers for Avon businesses and are destination events. The special event must also be supported by Avon residents and its workforce, with a either ticketed, volunteer or free attendance. Over time, a special event may become a signature event. 1.3 Develop and Nurture Community Enrichment Events Community celebration events, which contribute to a sense of community, vitality and fun, are encouraged. Community enrichment events are important to a balanced, year-round cultural activity calendar, are appealing to Avon s diverse demographic population because the opportunities are valued and accessible.

Establish Avon s Special Events Committee and Coordinate with the Avon Cultural Founding Committee Adopt an ordinance establishing the Town of Avon s Special Events Committee to oversee all special events, including but not limited to purposes, authority, membership numbers, qualifications, and residency requirements. The Avon Special Events Committee will coordinate with the Creative Founding Committee regarding funding for the arts, creative industries and actions to obtain a Creative District designation. 3. Identify and Support in Facility Development Identify and support event facilities and public spaces to meet the needs of all cultural events and community programming. Venues should reflect Avon s creative spirit, with public art and design, which supports the Avon brand.
