Its mission is, "Enriching our community through the arts." Since 1987, HAC has been <br />serving the community through a range of programs and events that employ local creative talent, <br />strengthen citizen engagement and enhance the economic vibrancy of Orange County. It serves <br />thousands of citizens from all walks of life every year. <br />HAC is guided by a 12- member Board of Directors. Board members oversee the management and <br />operation of over 10 annual programs. HAC also employs 2 part -time employees that perform day -to- <br />day operations: a bookkeeper and a program coordinator. Programs are funded through <br />partnerships and donations, and by grants from such entities as the NC Arts Council per the OCAC, <br />and the Hillsborough Tourism Board. <br />Free Spirit Freedom is a cultural arts initiative within HAC that emerged in 2010 to acknowledge, <br />preserve and celebrate the diverse heritage of Orange County. Co- founders Thomas Watson and <br />Renee Price volunteer their time and services in cooperation with local residents, artists and cultural <br />enthusiasts. We combine photography, storytelling, literature and other art forms to highlight the <br />people, places and events of yesteryear and today, primarily through the lens of African - <br />Americans... with a view to a better tomorrow. <br />FSF projects and events are supported by grants and donations, thus allowing FSF to offer most <br />events free of charge to the broader community, particularly to attract and serve historically <br />marginalized and low- wealth residents and visitors. <br />During FY18 -19, will your No <br />organization receive <br />operational support funding <br />from the North Carolina <br />Arts Council or the North <br />Carolina Department of <br />Natural and Cultural <br />Resources? <br />Organization's EIN 562163979 <br />Organization Website www.hillsboroughartscouncii.org <br />Authorizing Official's Name Thomas Watson <br />Authorizing Official's Title HAC Board Member, FSF Co- Founder <br />Authorizing Official's Phone 919 - 260 -3386 <br />Authorizing Official's Email thomaswatson30@yahoo.com <br />Applicant Race Black/African American <br />Financial Overview <br />8e64aaa9- 915f- 48dc- 8bb6- 9dcd41184390.xlsx <br />
