Agenda item

18 March 2015

(B) City of London Festival

The City of London Festival was founded in 1962 as an independent trust with the aim of revitalising the cultural life of the City. The City of London Corporation has long supported the event and will this year again be providing a venue for a concert.

To facilitate the exchange of ideas and discussion, it is proposed that a number of guests including City representatives, those representing the arts in London and political and diplomatic contacts, be invited to attend a pre-concert reception held in the Art Gallery.

Accordingly, we recommend that hospitality be granted in the form of a reception to be held on Thursday 9 July 2015 in the Art Gallery, with arrangements to be made under the auspices of the Culture, Heritage and Libraries Committee; the cost to be met from City’s Cash and within the approved cost parameters.

This would be a Committee event.
