We believe by taking time to work on our long-range goals in an organized, purposeful fashion, we will be better able to instill the arts into the community and public life in our region We will know we have achieved our goal when we have a well-defined, thoughtful plan for the future. Hopefully that will include a public art project, some kind of community participation project, a start on a transition plan, and a better understanding of our financial stability. It's a big goal for one evening, but if we do this right we should have a blueprint for future development.
The outcome of the workshop was that board members left with a renewed enthusiasm for what the Arts Council does and has the potential to do. We actually saw in a timeline what we have done and things we have scheduled. Our ideas for future projects were prioritized. We also discussed other organizations with whom we will collaborate.
