BACKGROUND: In the spring, the Orange County Arts Commission awards grants to local nonprofit organizations sponsoring arts projects using funds received from State government through the Grassroots Arts Program of the North Carolina Arts Council. In 1985 the Orange County Arts Commission was designated by the BOCC — and approved by the NC Arts Council — as the Local Distributing Agent (now called Designated County Partner) to award state Grassroots Arts Program funds to nonprofit agencies in Orange County. Grants are awarded for arts programming in all arts disciplines for artistic merit and benefits to the residents of Orange County. Each recipient must match the grant amount in order to receive funding. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The $30,726 in state funds awarded to the Arts Commission in FY2013- 14 — for Arts Commission purposes and for granting to outside nonprofit agencies sponsoring arts projects — represents a pass- through of State funds. As always, grants to individual artists are paid from County funds allocated by the BOCC for local arts grants during FY2013 -14. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board acknowledge the local recipients of the awards during the September 17, 2013 meeting with the presentation of checks by the Board Chair.
