Having met throughout the past year, we are in the process of obtaining non-profit (501c3) status. We have chosen a number of initiatives that we are focusing on this year including: marketing of the arts in Riverside; supporting arts events such as the Arts Walk on First Thursdays and the Arts Honors awards; advocating for arts related development; pursuing funding sources and resources; and many other mechanisms by which we can augment the City's arts and economic offerings. We would like to have the opportunity to get acquainted with you and to present more information on our goals and objectives. Details of our Board meeting are as follows: Thursday February 26, 2004, from 4:30 to 5:30 pm, in the 6th Floor Large Conference Room in City Hall.
