Introduction of New County Arts Director and Update on County Arts <br /> Activities/Future Goals <br /> Over the last two months, Orange County Arts Commission (OCAC) Director Katie Murray <br /> has been meeting with stakeholders in the arts community to determine the future <br /> direction of the Commission. Historically, the primary role of OCAC has been one of grant <br /> funder to artists and arts organizations. While this will remain a significant role of the <br /> commission, the director, as well as County Management and the OCAC Advisory Board, <br /> believe the commission can serve the arts community of Orange County in a more <br /> significant way. <br />
