Cultural Trust will be meeting in Coos Bay
Coos County Cultural Coalition, Curry County Cultural Coalition and the Coos Art Museum want to provide the public opportunity to learn more about the Oregon Cultural Trust.
To that end, Jim Cox, trust manager from the Cultural Trust, will be at the Coos Art Museum from 2 to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 26, to meet with the general public and explain how the Oregon Cultural trust is working for South Coast cultural organizations. South Coast cultural groups from Florence to Brookings also will have the opportunity to discuss their organizations with the trust manager and fellow meeting attendees.
The Oregon Cultural Trust is a statewide cultural organization that raises significant new funds to invest in Oregon's arts, humanities and heritage. These funds are distributed to local communities to support their cultural priorities, through competitive grants for projects of regional and statewide significance, and through grants to Oregon's statewide cultural agencies to support their ongoing efforts.
From 5 to 6 p.m., Coos County Cultural Coalition will host a reception with light hors d'oeuvres for Cox and representatives of South Coast cultural organizations - giving South Coast cultural leaders an opportunity to personally meet with Cox.
For more information about the Oregon Cultural Trust, those interested can go online to http://www.culturaltrust.org. For more information about the open house with Cox, those interested can call the Coos Art Museum office at 267-3901 or by e-mail to info@coosart.org.
