Cameron Street <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Dear Ms, Murray, <br /> This letter is in support of SHIMMER: The Art of Light, a dynamic, multi media art event in downtown Chapel <br /> Hill and Carrboro, We have committed agency funds for 2018 to support SHIMMER and our agency will be the <br /> fiscal agent for the project. Cur agency has been funding this project consecutively for the last two years. <br /> The Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership (CHDP) is a nonprofit agency that brings together the resources of the <br /> Town, University and downtown community to maintain, enhance and promote downtown as the 50cial„ <br /> cuiltural„ and spiritual center of Chapel Hill through economic development. <br /> Cur Plan of Work 2016-2018 leads with an objective of being downtown's managing entity and economic <br /> development leader by specifically pursuing arts endeavors. Whether it is music, food &drink, visual art, or <br /> performances - there is no doubt that art.) are an econorric engine for our downtown and campus. <br /> SHIMMER is the only arts event(other than monthly 211.' Friday ArLNalks) that brings together arts <br /> organizations and businesses in both downtowns; something that I feel is important for the economic health <br /> of our community. <br /> SHIMMER brings artists from around the southeast, providing an opportunity for our community to engage <br /> with a medium of a i not done anywhere else in North Carolina, <br /> SHIMMER is exactly the kind of creative work that sets the tone for the engaging sense of place that we are <br /> fostering downtown We can consistently tell people that Chapel Hill and Carrboro are dynamic arts <br /> destinations; SHIMMER shows that it truly is! <br /> We hope you are as excited about this grant proposal as we are and will support SHIMMER. <br /> Thank you, <br /> 1 eg MicGurk <br /> Executive Director <br /> Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership <br /> ....,„„... <br /> 308 West Rosemmtv Street Su tte 202 Chanel t-Olt, NC 27618 P; 919.98709440 F:919987-9475 <br /> wwvondowestxmnehmethilicom <br />
