ORANGE COUNTY ARTS <br /> Promoting the Artistic and Cultural Development of Orange County, North Carolina <br /> June 24, 2013 <br /> Senator Eleanor Kinnaird <br /> North Carolina Senate <br /> 300 N. Salisbury Street, Room 628 <br /> Raleigh,NC 27603-5925 <br /> Dear Senator Kinnaird, <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 2012- <br /> 2013 alone, we were able to help support 20 programs that impacted over 100,000 Orange <br /> County residents. These wonderful projects included a wide range of experiences fitting our <br /> diverse population. Programs of Deep Dish Theater Company and FRANK Gallery, as well as <br /> Kidzu Children's Museum and Orange County Artists Guild were all partially funded through <br /> this state money. Your funds supported projects from the Hillsborough Arts Council's <br /> "Handmade Parade"to the Town of Carrboro's "Carrboro Music Festival"this year. State funds <br /> helped to support artist performances and residencies at Ephesus Road Elementary School, Estes <br /> Hills Elementary School, Glenwood Elementary School, Grady A. Brown Elementary School, <br /> McDougle Elementary School and McDougle Middle 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 /> Martha Shannon <br /> Director <br /> (919) 968-2011 ❖ www.artsorange.org ❖ arts @co.orange.nc.us ❖ Fax (919) 968-2062 <br /> 501 West Franklin Street ❖ Chapel Hill - North Carolina ❖ 27516 <br />
