DCAC Awards Banquet

On Thursday March 6th, I attended the Dutchess County Arts Council Grant Award Ceremony. At the meeting, I got to meet and talk to many people who are very excited about the Hyde Park Project. This really energized me with the belief that what I am trying to accomplish is positive effort for the arts and community. I appreciate all of the people who spoke with me and was very excited to meet them.

The ceremony include the distribution of the grant funding. I've received a small amount of money that will get the project off to a great start. Though, I am finding that the equipment, promotion and insurance needs will quickly use up this source. So, I will be out searching for more funding through state grants and local sources.
