More than 1,400 artists of all kinds are listed in <br /> the Orange County Arts Commission's database. We have painters, photographers, filmmakers,poets, <br /> writers, musicians, dancers, and fine craft artists. Hillsborough was named the best literary town in the <br /> south this year by one recent publication(gardenandgun.com). As well, our community is home to <br /> many individuals and organizations that are making valuable efforts to archive our cultural history, <br /> protect our cultural artifacts, sites and buildings, and to preserve all of these precious resources for the <br /> benefit of the citizenry. <br /> The arts/culture industry is dynamic in Orange and Durham Counties and growing as evidenced by the <br /> ongoing success of venues like the Carrboro ArtsCenter, Playmakers Repertory Company, Deep Dish <br /> Theater,the Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC), Golden Belt, and the recent emergence of small <br /> art galleries. New art and performance venues have also come online in the nearby Chatham County <br /> communities of Saxapahaw and Pittsboro. <br /> Orange County Cultural Center Confidential Page 10 of 30 <br /> Sirategic Business Plan(v.1.0) 9/8/2011 <br />
