Saying YES to the Arts

On Tuesday, June 17 the new Comprehensive Arts Plan was approved by the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors. After almost 40 years of arts advocacy, we're happy to see this progress!

Thanks to all who attended, spoke, emailed, or just lent moral support to this effort. There is surely work ahead of us! We need to stay part of the process, and make sure that the funding needed for the arts initiatives included in the plan becomes a reality.



It's Show Time!

On Tuesday, June 17 the Comprehensive Arts Plan will be presented for approval by the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors. They’ve got all the thousands of comments, survey results, meeting notes, hopes and dreams, as well as a vision, guiding document, and budget. Now, they need to just say YES! Loudoun Arts Council is spearheading a gathering of arts enthusiasts to approach the event with strategy, cohesion and purpose. 

Our plan is to coordinate our key messages ahead of time, then have each of them presented by one of our leading arts organizations, with endorsement from the whole group. If you’d like updates on this advocacy event, and would like to participate, please reply to info@loudounarts.org. It’s going to be amazing! 

Remember, this plan promises a considerable amount of support for the arts, including a centralized arts hub, a 600-900 seat performance hall, spaces to teach and display art, much more public art, and a $250,000 Community Grant Program for general operating support of local groups. Let’s make it happen!



Trivia Night!

Fun with the Loudoun Arts Council!
