PURPOSE: To present checks to local artists and arts organizations receiving Orange County
Arts Grants.
BACKGROUND: The Orange County Arts Commission grants funds to local artists and arts
organizations from funds received from the state and from Orange County government. Funds
are distributed for arts programming in all disciplines. Each grant recipient must match the grant
amount with local dollars in order to receive funding.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Orange County included money for this purpose in the current fiscal year
budget. Two additional private donations (Howard Perry & and Walston Foundation and the
Triangle Network of Theaters) were added to increase the amount available to grant to schools
in this cycle. This increase was approved by the BOCC on January 23, 2007 via Budget
Amendment.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board acknowledge the local
recipients of the awards during the February 6, 2007 meeting with the presentation of checks by
the Board Chair.
