A political action committee called Frisco Performing Arts Coalition has formed to advocate for the arts in Frisco.

The committee registered with the Texas Ethics Commission earlier this month. Campaign treasurer James Nunn said it was a "happy coincidence" that the committee formed at about the same time a Citizen Bond Committee member proposed allocating bond funds for a performing arts center.

The arts committee already has about 100 members, Nunn said.

The main goal of the committee is to provide information to the public and city officials about the importance of building an arts center in Frisco, Nunn said.

Nunn mentioned that a performing arts facility was in the city's Millennium Plan in 2000. The need is there, he said, but bringing a larger performing arts facility to the city is one goal Frisco has yet to accomplish.

"We've done everything else well in bringing so many different types of activities and opportunities to the citizens of Frisco, but we still lack that one element that has been in our plan as a city for over 14 years," he said.

Nunn said the committee has already reached out to some city council members to get their input on the issue.

Some of the initial members of this committee were also part of a political action committee in 2011 called Frisco Arts Matters. That committee formed before Frisco voters decided to revoke $16 million in bond funds for a regional arts center called the Arts Center of North Texas. The committee dissolved soon after that.

Now with the possibility of a city arts facility getting on the May ballot, Nunn said he hopes the city council will allow voters to decide whether to build a center in Frisco.

In the meantime, the committee will work on building its membership and its voice, Nunn said.

"It's a sensitive subject to a lot of people in the city—the performing arts space—and some people are saying it's too soon to have this conversation," he said. "I'm not really a subscriber to that thought. It's never too soon to have the conversation. It may be too soon to do something about it right now, but it's not too soon to have the conversation."
