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! |

Warming Up
Tomorrow, May 2nd, we will open our new office at 207 Loudoun Street SE, Leesburg, near the Loudoun Government Center, to celebrate in Leesburg's First Friday festivities. We hope you'll stop be and take in the new exhibit in our space featuring the 2D and 3D work of LAC Members from 5 pm to 7 pm. Meet our Board members and learn more about our current outreach efforts. As always, First Friday is like to be lively, and we're so glad to be able to participate!
For as little as $10 a year, you can be part of the LAC. Post your news, events, classes, and opportunities in our monthly newsletter, be included in the Loudoun Arts Directory, and join the discussion about the future of the arts in Loudoun.

Bloom Where You're Planted
Thanks to all who joined us for our annual meeting on February 3rd. We had a presentation about the findings of the ongoing Comprehensive Arts Plan Survey by Loudoun County Arts Coordinator David Grainger, learned from board members about the current state of the LAC, had a lively Q& A Session with those who attended, and elected new Officers.
We plan to hit the ground running! There's a lot going on in the arts sector right now. On February 7th, the owners of Ion International Training Center in Leesburg announced their plan to transition their business from a skating arena into a performing arts and convention/event center. Loudoun County is also conducting an effort to identify the arts needs of our community going forward. And of course there are all the wonderful events and classes happening monthly right here in Loudoun — learn more by clicking on the links to your left.
Loudoun Arts welcomes your support as we work to help shape these new arts initiatives. Renew your membership, make sure to drop in to our new office space at 207 Loudoun Street SE in Leesburg to learn more during Leesburg's First Friday, or make a plan to support us on Give Choose Day on March 25th! |
