24 <br /> o etitors f r un raisin <br /> We recognize that the OCCC is a new group that will fundraise to the same community as other artistic <br /> and cultural non-profit venues. However, the OCCC serves a distinct role to that of the member and <br /> other community organizations as `we are the building coordinator, and everyone else provides the <br /> programming'. <br /> By providing space for other arts organizations we will be seeking operational support and will not be <br /> competing for art program dollars. This allows for continuity within the organizational brands, and <br /> strengthens grant-winning opportunities by running new programs through well-regarded organizations <br /> that are established with long track records. <br /> In essence, we are providing the space in which all the other local cultural organizations and artists can <br /> effectively present their work to the public. That said, our operational fundraising will be on par with <br /> the smaller organizations in town. <br /> ' <br /> I T� T <br /> rand tate ent <br /> The OCCC is a trusted, local, community-oriented organization that fosters local creativity and <br /> partnership by providing a home for affordable,high-quality art, history, and cultural events. We are <br /> the only local facility that can provide auditorium and classroom space for performances and classes <br /> that is affordable and accessible to our community. <br /> IVlarketing I�lessage <br /> Is your artistic/cultural organization seeking affordable rental space close to home? Are you settling <br /> for venues that are too environmentally sterile or have limited offerings that don't encompass all of <br /> your needs like a large theater, ample storage, rehearsal space, or attractive viewing areas? <br /> The OCCC has repurposed what was once the central Orange County library in the historic Whitted <br /> Building in downtown Hillsborough into a 12,000 sq ft. artistic hub where all are welcome. Eight local <br /> artistic, cultural, and educational organizations formed the OCCC to create this accessible and <br /> affordable creative space. <br /> The Center is an attractive,professionally managed venue that boasts a large theater & auditorium, <br /> classrooms, and artist studios/offices. It serves as a home for cultural events, plays, social gatherings, <br /> concerts, arts programming and classes, a cafe, and an art gallery. It draws local community members, <br /> families, and visitors alike to enjoy and support local creative offerings. <br /> After all of the hard work that you've invested in developing your unique program, we understand that <br /> you desire and deserve an inviting space to host your spectacular event. Call our professional OCCC <br /> Coordinator today at 919-643-2500 and let us serve as your host for creative programming. <br /> Orange County Cultural Center Confidential Page 18 of 30 <br /> Strategic Business Plan(v.1.0) 9/8/2011 <br />
