PURPOSE: To present checks to local artists and arts organizations receiving Spring 2005
Orange County Arts Grants.
BACKGROUND: The Orange County Arts Commission grants funds to local artists and arts
organizations in the spring from funds received from state government through the Grassroots
Arts Program of the North Carolina Arts Council. Funds are distributed for arts programming
that reflects the racial and cultural diversity of the county. Each grant recipient must match the
grant amount with state dollars in order to receive funding.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact on Orange County, as this action represents
a pass-through of state funds.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board acknowledge the local
recipients of the awards during the November 2, 2005 meeting with the presentation of checks
by the Board Chair Moses Carey.
