Thank you for helping restore arts education in our schools!
Due to overwhelming response from the community, Mayor Potter has put $150,000 into the FY09 budget to help fund Arts Partners. This is an extraordinary accomplishment for our community and we thank everyone who took the time to send an email in support of arts education.

From Dialog to Doing
Don’t worry if you missed the March 4th Arts Partners Update Meeting. Here’s what was shared including an opportunity to become involved in the planning of Arts Partners:
In November, the Arts Partners Visioning Committee was charged with three tasks:
1) Finalize a purpose statement for the initiative,
2) Propose a governance structure and
3) Develop a process to launch the planning.
The  Visioning Committee Recommendations were presented to and approved by the RACC Board of Directors at its February 20th meeting, paving the way for project design and implementation. With a governance structure in place, the Visioning Committee has been dissolved; its members are identifying their places within the newly established committee structure.
We now invite you to join the planning effort by participating in one of the working committees – Program Design, Program Implementation or Partnership Advancement – or to become part of the Arts Partners Advisory Council. Details about the committees and council (beginning on page 2 of Governance Description) will help you make your choice. Indicate your interest by submitting an Arts Partners Interest Form or via e-mail to mstalcup@racc.org.
