Salisbury Street, Room 612 <br />Raleigh, NC 27603 -5925 <br />Dear Representative Hackney, <br />The Orange County Arts Commission, the organization that promotes the arts and culture of <br />Orange County and its townships, wishes to thank you for your support of the North Carolina <br />Arts Council. Funding from the North Carolina Arts Council helps to support local arts and <br />culture programs through local decision - making that produces the finest artistic experiences for <br />our local residents. <br />Due to your support of the North Carolina Arts Council's Grassroots Arts Program in 2011- <br />2012 alone, we were able to help support 16 programs that impacted over 100,000 Orange <br />County residents. These wonderful projects included a wide range of experiences fitting our <br />diverse population. Art programs of Deep Dish Theater Company and Music Maker Relief <br />Foundation as well as Kidzu Children's Museum and Chapel Hill Preservation Society were all <br />partially funded through this state money. Your funds supported projects from the Hillsborough <br />Arts Council's Jazz Festival to artist residencies sponsored by The ArtsCenter this year. State <br />funds helped to support artist performances and residencies at Cameron Park Elementary School, <br />Ephesus Road Elementary School, Estes Hills Elementary School, Grady A. Brown Elementary <br />School, and McDougle Elementary School. <br />Thank you so much for your very important fiscal support of the North Carolina Arts Council <br />and ask that you continue to support it at the highest level possible. <br />Sincerely, <br />M a Shannon <br />Director <br />(919) 968 -2011 :• www.artsorange.org :• arts @co.orange.nc.us •.
