From:   Kent George, ED Manager 

Re:  Art Center Waco – Staff Recommendation

Developer Request: Waco Creative Arts, Inc. is requesting $560,000 to develop a new campus for The Art Center of Waco which includes the development of a new fine arts educational facility located at 701 S. 8th Street. This new location will offer the community a designated area that spotlights art, culture and arts education.  Additionally, The Art Center of Waco will be eligible to become an accredited art museum, which will allow a venue to bring premier art exhibitions to downtown Waco.   Staff Recommendation: 

Staff recommends providing TIF funding of up to $315,000 (which  is 10% of the total project cost).   This project will not be a for‐profit organization therefore no property taxes will be paid by the organization and no TIF increment will be generated.  Additional recommendations specific to the project include: 

Payment of the approved funding will be made once all construction for the project is complete. 

The contract term shall be a period of 11 years (1 year for construction and 10 years of agreement compliance).  

The project must be under contract within 2 months, and the project will not go to City Council until the contract is signed by the developer, or the grant may be forfeited. 

The project must commence within 6 months of contract execution, unless a 6‐month extension is requested and granted by the City Manager.  If the project does not commence within 6 months of contract execution (or 12 months of contract execution, if extended) the grant will be forfeited.   

The property cannot be sold or transferred to another non‐profit during the term of the contract period without prior written consent of the City. 

The project must be compliant with all Planning and Zoning requirements to be eligible for funding.

Board of Directors

TIF Project Recommendation: 701 South 8th Street, Art Center of Waco Project Summary The Art Center of Waco has requested TIF funds to assist in redeveloping an existing building into their new facility, which would include museum gallery, office, classroom and indoor and outdoor event spaces. Considerations

• Overall Advancement of Imagine Waco Relocating a cultural and events anchor into downtown Waco, redeveloping an underutilized space, and creating a new activity hub at the edge of the Silo District and enlarging it towards the interstate represent material advancements of the Imagine Waco vision.

• Preferred Use o Entertainment/ Cultural Facility o Multiple use areas and outdoor space

• Location Impact: o Creates connection between Silo District and Interstate commercial corridor o Extends Silo District potential development by 2 blocks

• Increases Walkability o 5 blocks from Marriott AC, o 4 blocks from Pivovar boutique hotel o Walkable from transit center and Kate Ross apartments o Walkable from Tinsley Place and West Campus Lofts o Walkability – 8th Street is a priority sidewalk corridor

• Destination Amenity The project will attract people and dollars from outside Waco

• Critical Local-serving Amenity – The project will offer something significant to locals: access to arts and cultural displays, exhibits, events and an array of classes

• High Design Standards The project design is striking and aspirational

• Removes Blight This is a minor, but present, aspect of this project

• Connects to Education The educational opportunities afforded by the Art Center, and the project’s location connecting it with a wide array of audiences, make this significant

Recommendation The City Center Waco Board of Directors gives its highest recommendation for approval of this project.

A Proposal for The Art Center of Waco

The Art Center of Waco

The Art Center of Waco would like to invite you to ignite the arts and become a legacy investor for Waco’s premier

fine arts educational facility at The Art Center of Waco.

The Art Center of Waco respectfully requests $560,000. in TIF funding to support our new Campus in downtown

Waco, located at 701 S. 8th Street.

Inherent in our mission to promote the fine arts in Central Texas through educational programs, exhibitions, and

collections, The Art Center of Waco serves as a premier arts education and preservation center, promoting excellence,

variety, creativity, and vitality of the arts. As a diverse center of arts and culture for more than 40 years, The Art Center

of Waco supports and encourages diverse exhibitions and provides inspiring educational programs for visitors of all

ages and economic backgrounds. 90% of Center’s visitors and art education program participants are residents of

Central Texas. The Art Center of Waco encourages the visual arts experience through community participation,

educational programming, traveling and mobile art exhibits, encouraging emerging artists, and developing an

appreciation of fine arts. The Art Center of Waco’s goal is to expand programs and exhibits to reach more visitors

throughout Waco and globally- better fulfilling The Arts Center of Waco’s mission. Your investment in The Art Center

of Waco, will significantly impact the arts throughout the greater Waco community.

The Center

The Art Center of Waco expects to make an artful impact on the quality of life and provide supplementary art

education programs for the community with the creation of our new downtown campus. The Center will be

relocated (and renovated) and will be constructed near two expanding and popular downtown districts in Waco.

Located at 701 S. 8th Street, the new location will offer the community a designated area that spotlights art, culture

and arts education; the complex will play an important role as a center for inspiration of the arts to Waco and its

visitors. The Art Center will ignite the arts in more neighborhoods and educational facilities throughout Waco; with

proximity to I-35 and the Waco Transportation Depot, The Center seeks to invite and engage more lower income

neighborhoods and foster engagement in art programs. As an art center in downtown Waco, The Center will have

the programs and the permanent facility to reach more guests and continue to improve the cultural impact of the arts

in Waco. Upon completion, The Art Center will be eligible to become an accredited art museum, which will allow

us to bring premier exhibitions to Waco. With a Waco Convention and Visitors Bureau average report of 35,000

visitors to Waco weekly, and double the visitors and program attendees at The Arts Center of Waco since 2015, The

Arts Center of Waco expects to make a significant cultural impact in the community and serve more guests as the

premier arts center for all Central Texans and visitors to Waco.

Our leadership in visual arts throughout the great Waco community will be enhanced with your partnership;

allowing us to renovate and further cultivate arts in our downtown Center. In addition to a museum quality

temperature and humidity controlled gallery and art storage, The Art Center will be housed in the 8,771 square foot

building and include gathering spaces for art education programs, projects, exhibitions, Center events, and artist

speaker series. The forward thinking architects at RBDR accounted for social distancing in both the galleries and

classrooms. The unique design will include large utility doors at the back of The Art Center that can be opened to

provide extra event space, allow for art exhibits to be easily transported and displayed, and offer an artistic

ambiance, providing awe-inspiring access to a sculpture garden. The Art Center's downtown presence will

complement the city of Waco's commercial and cultural successes.

33

Page 39: TIF ZONE 1 - Waco

With your support, the Arts Center of Waco will flourish; offering travelling exhibit and speaker series opportunities

to artists all over the world, apply for the prestigious art accreditation, host event and community engagements, and

offer unique art enriching programs and projects to inspire creativity and ignite the arts in Waco, Texas.

Funding and Support

The Art Center has raised just over $1.1 Million from donors since 2018, including major gifts from the community.

In 2018, The Cooper Foundation granted The Center $147,000. At the request of Cooper Foundation to secure a

matching gift, Steve and Alyce Beard donated a matching gift of $250,000. In 2019, three (3) major gifts were

donated to support The Art Center; Monte Hulse and Sara Humphreys gifted The Center $250,000 each, and The

Meadows Foundation granted The Art Center $100,000. The Art Center of Waco has secured a $1.8 million loan

from First National Bank of Central Texas to support the renovation and rebuild of The Art Center of Waco. To

date, The Art Center owns the real estate and it is completely paid for. TIF funding will make a significant impact on

the building renovations of The Art Center. The TIF funding will provide essential pieces and components of The

Center of Waco and help complete the community’s premier art center.

Conclusion

Your investment in The Art Center of Waco will be the spark of inspiration to ignite the arts and provide a legacy of

culture and enrichment and art education in Waco through The Arts Center of Waco. Thank you for your

consideration and for your support of the arts.

Please contact Grant Dudley 254.717.2007 or Lisa Monroe at 254.722.1044 with any questions or for additional

information about The Arts Center of Waco.
