Arts and Tourism: A new Orange County Collaboration
Effective July 1, the Orange County Arts Commission has moved its offices from Hillsborough to 501 West Franklin Street in Chapel Hill, home of the Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau. Orange County Arts Commission Director, Martha Shannon, will be housed at the Visitors Bureau, while continuing to oversee the county’s arts commission, which includes over $60,000 in annual grant dollars to local artists, schools and community projects such as the Poet Laureate program and public art installations. The move will position the Arts Commission as a division of the Visitors Bureau with funding coming from the county’s occupancy tax. For the full story, click here.
