Arts Partners is a collaborative initiative involving the Regional Arts & Culture Council, NW Business for Culture and the Arts, Young Audiences of Oregon and SW Washington, the City of Portland, Multnomah and Clackamas Counties and five local school districts including Beaverton, Gresham-Barlow, Hillsboro, North Clackamas and Portland. In August, nearly 200 educators, artists, business leaders and community members attended a public unveiling of the Portland Metro Arts Partners initiative at the Gerding Theatre. Gigi Antoni and Gina Thorsen from Dallas, Texas, shared their successful arts education model entitled Big Thought, which has been in place for 10 years. Big Thought has chosen Portland as the only city they will mentor in 2007-08 to help develop a similar local program.
For more information on these events or the Portland region’s Arts Partners project visit www.racc.org/artspartners or contact Marna Stalcup, Arts Partners Project Manager, at 503.823.4698 or mstalcup@racc.org.
Through vision, leadership and service the Regional Arts
& Culture Council works to integrate arts and culture in all aspects of
community life.
