Arts council

I am hoping to be appointed this fall to the local arts council. It feels like a perfect way to be involved in my community, deciding on grant applications for art projects and cultural events that will benefit the city, promoting the arts within the city and promoting the city through the arts. I’ll gain more connections to the local arts community and a new view of my city.

The current chair of the arts council has high hopes that the council can take on more responsibilities over the coming years, and I’m excited to be part of that process. I’ll have a lot to learn, and I hope a lot to contribute. The next step is apparently an interview with the mayor, who makes the actual appointments.
