Snowy Hopes

Snowy Portland 2008

Before the calendar takes a break for the holidays, I wanted to share a little good news from the RACC. They have collected record funds to award in grants in 2009 to artists, nonprofits, and arts education. Eloise Damrosch, executive director of the RACC, reminds us that supporting the arts is essential to the health of the community in difficult times: "Without question, artists and arts organizations make our community a better place to live, and they need our support now more than ever. Just imagine what it would be like if we didn't have the arts to get us through this difficult time; the arts bring us together, to challenge and entertain us. The arts give us hope."

Enjoy the snow, I'll be back December 29. (PORT will still be updated but have more sporadic posts during the holiday week)
