W ith the support <br />of more than 40 v olunteers and collaborations with ov er 25 local <br />businesses and cultural organizations, the Hillsborough Arts Council <br />is truly a community of artists, staff, board members, and friends <br />working to ensure the creativ e future of Hillsborough and Orange <br />County, North Carolina. <br />HAC's Board of Directors is comprised of local leaders with v arying <br />backgrounds, including business, marketing, and law professionals; <br />artists, authors, musicians, and poets; retired adults and young <br />professionals. HAC's staff currently includes a full-time Executiv e <br />Director, a full-time Marketing Director, a part-time Gallery & Gift Shop <br />Manager, and a part-time Bookkeeper. Each staff member is uniquely <br />qualified and experienced to fulfill best practices in arts <br />administration. These employees currently share the responsibilities <br />of signature ev ent coordination and collaborate with board members <br />and lead v olunteers as needed. HAC aims to expand staff within the <br />next two fiscal years to include a part-time Volunteer & Program <br />Coordinator, as consistent and skilled support for programs has <br />declined since the onset of the pandemic. This will allow HAC <br />leadership to focus on building organizational capacity through <br />strategic fundraising efforts. <br />HAC serv es ov er 30,000 v isitors annually through public programs, <br />special ev ents, and the Gallery & Gift Shop. Geographically, 25% of <br />HAC's audience are from Hillsborough, with 75% from other North <br />Carolina towns, other US States, and other Countries. Of the 75% of <br />v isitors from outside of Hillsborough, 40% are from other towns in <br />Orange County, thus the Hillsborough Arts Council plays a significant <br />role in prov iding arts programming and education serv ices for <br />Orange County residents. HAC is committed to adopting best <br />practices in nonprofit data analysis, and is collecting additional <br />demographic information to better understand the audiences <br />currently serv ed, as well as determine which audiences HAC needs to <br />focus on reaching. Through performance contracts and Gallery & Gift <br />Shop commissions, HAC prov ided ov er $75,000 in income to local <br />artists in calendar year 2021.
