Please give a brief description of your organization, including mission, board and staff <br /> composition, current arts programs and services and number and kinds of people served.

(250 words or less) <br /> The Hillsborough Arts Council (HAC) supports the arts and enhances the Hillsborough and Orange <br /> County communities through education and by organizing events that feature regional artists for the <br /> enjoyment and education of the general public. Our mission is "to enrich our community through the <br /> arts." We would like to continue bringing educational opportunities to the public through existing <br /> venues and programs. <br /> The HAC operating structure consists of 13 Board of Directors. The Board members are all <br /> volunteers and oversee the management and operation of more than 10 annual programs including: <br /> o Last Fridays free concert series. <br /> o Last Fridays Art Walks. <br /> o Hillsborough Handmade Parade. <br /> o Parlor Concerts <br /> o The Hillsborough Downtown Arts & Crafts Show. <br /> o The Hillsborough Arts Council Gallery and Gift Shop. <br /> o Hillsborough Sculpture Tour, "A Sight to Behold" by Patrick Dougherty. <br /> o Solstice Lantern Walk. <br /> o Arts Alive. <br /> o ArtCycle <br /> o Free Spirit Freedom <br /> HAC also retains the services of 2 part-time paid employees that perform day-to-day operations. <br /> These employees are an accountant (Sara Brewer) and a program coordinator (Kristin Prelipp). <br /> 2. Offer a brief summary of the proposed project. <br /> The proposed use of the grant funds requested is to help fund the promotion of the Hillsborough Art <br /> Walk, Last Fridays. These are a premier recurring events for Hillsborough and Orange County. We <br /> have had visitors tell us that they go to many art walks throughout the triangle and find that this is <br /> their favorite because unlike other towns, this art walk is truly walk-able, between the art venues and <br /> the restaurants. It is an event which draws visitors from Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Pittsboro, Cary, <br /> Raleigh, and Burlington, Mebane, Durham and other surrounding communities. <br /> L'r,)ok p Int fâ– prA, Pcir <br />
