RE: Amend Museum Membership Budget
BACKGROUND
The Museum sought a grant through the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation, supported by the
Wisconsin Arts Board to present special October programming recognizing Latinx culture through Dia
de los Muertos. This Celebration will help shine a light on Hispanic culture and open doors to a greater
awareness of a rapidly growing population in our region. At the time of budget adoption in November
2021, the Museum had not identified this programming opportunity. For that reason, no funds for this
were budgeted in the 2022 Membership Fund.
ANALYSIS
The Oshkosh Public Museum has been awarded funding for this celebration by a grant from the Oshkosh
Area Community Foundation and the Wisconsin Arts Board. This $4,000 grant will help fund events
related to Latinx culture in the Lake Winnebago region through a Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)
Celebration this October. Currently, these events include a community altar (ofrenda), traditional
Mexican folk dancers and mariachi, family craft and learning opportunities, and confirmed free
showings of Disney Pixar’s Coco at the Time Community Theatre. Additional program offerings continue
to be discussed and planned in partnership with area Latino and Hispanic leaders and groups.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact is neutral as the project is fully supported by private funds.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Membership Fund be amended to reflect the use of the grant from the for the
Dia de los Muertos celebration enrichment programming from the Oshkosh Area Community
Foundation and the Wisconsin Arts Board. $4,000 to Revenue account 02271070-4265-11209; $4,000 to
Expense account 02271070-6412-11209.
