Start has nistorically been part-time. and subject to pudaet
cuts. The pudaet is sustained with a orovinciai grant, of
whicn., a oercentage is distributed amonast member groups. The
prowects (see attacned 2) are pasicaily break-even, not
considering the adminstrative component. (see attached 3)

Projects under consideration include:

1. "Art of Survival"

This exhibit of multi-media art will be held in
convunetion with March Arts Awareness Month in 1993
pendina fundina.

This vrovect is an exhibit of art by survivors of
primarily child sexual abuse by both genders, and
will be staqed throughout the area.

"Excellence in the Arts Awards" Banquet

This banauet will be staged in each of the three
communities on alternating years to recognize an
individual in each community who has achieved
"Rxcellence in the Arts" in any of the five art
displines: music, dance, drama, visual, literary.

At this time, members in each of the member groups
are invited to recoqnize an individual in their
organizations who has contributed extensively to

the arts.

These are just two of the wealth of ideas that are now in
action: albeit. alternate funding must be found to actualize
them. Unfortunately, the Arts Council must find core funding to
appliv and administrate these projects, and actively solicits
supvort from the municivalities to maintain and expand its

services.
