We completed a hefty project application and submitted this to the Kentucky Arts Council on November 1. The four organizing coordinators for the application have been Historic Georgetown (Kitty), Cardome Center (Allison), and G-SC Planning Commission (Brian) in addition to yours truly. But, we have a whole community of partners -- Art Gal, Jan at SCAC, Annie, Judy, Earlene, Artie, and so many others.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#cccccc;"><br /></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#cccccc;">The Arts Council has alerted us to the date when the announcement of CD status will be granted. It's February 9 and Governor Beshear will make the announcement. We're hoping to caravan to Frankfort to hear the news (and hopefully, it's good news!).</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#cccccc;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#cccccc;">One accomplishment has been the City of Georgetown's declaration of our Cultural District. So, we are taking the name and running with it. WE ARE a CULTURAL DISTRICT already. To this end, we are implementing one of our objectives, that is, the creation of a central calendar to share news of the cultural events in our community. We've begun that process already. See the link below or the one on the following "Page" to see our Georgetown Cultural District Calendar! Have something to add? let us know by emailing us or leaving a comment below with the information. Special thanks to Allison for all of her work on getting our calendar up and running!</span></div></div></div></div><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: -webkit-xxx-large; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; clear: both; "></div></div><div class="post-footer" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: -webkit-xxx-large; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "></div></span>Earl Greyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09676341256531102249noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3140594542568525028.post-17998372429979729412012-01-18T09:11:00.000-08:002012-01-18T09:16:36.560-08:00Link to our calendar!To check out all of the upcoming events in the Georgetown Cultural District, please follow the link below.

This process began with our Executive Director of Historic Georgetown, Incorporated, Kitty Dougoud, who had knowledge of this Kentucky Arts Council program. She shared her vision with the arts and culture community in Georgetown, Ky. Since that first meeting this past summer, we've had several conversations with folks in town and in the county and, along the way, formed a Steering Committee to coordinate the application to the KAC and, down the road the networking and communication among individuals and organizations within our Cultural District, when (hopefully!) approved by the Kentucky Arts Council.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Georgia;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Georgia;mso-bidi-font-family:Georgia;font-size:16.0pt;">The deadline for the application to the KAC was today. We made it, as of 11:55 am! This application was prepared as a team effort among the Steering Committee. (Thank you all!) Four coordinators (who have called the meetings of the Committee, kept minutes, and prepared the final document submitted to the Kentucky Arts Council) represent different sectors of our community: Kitty Dougoud, Executive Director of Historic Georgetown Incorporated (Georgetown’s Main Street Program); Brian Shorkey, Senior Planner for the Georgetown-Scott County Planning Commission; Juilee Decker, Georgetown College Art Department Chair; Allison Damron, Administrator at Cardome Center.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Georgia;mso-bidi-font-family:Georgia;font-size:16.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><i><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Georgia;mso-bidi-font-family:Georgia;font-size:16.0pt;">As a group, we came up with an ethos and a mission statement for our Cultural District:</span></i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi- font-family:Georgia;mso-bidi-font-family:Georgia;font-size:16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><b><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family:Georgia;font-size:16.0pt;color:#960000;">Our Ethos</span></i></b><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family:Georgia;font-size:16.0pt;">: "Georgetown is a place that supports and encourages independent artists, musicians, historians, authors, and artisans while fostering understanding of our community and its past and promotes lifelong learning."</span></i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Georgia;mso-bidi-font-family:Georgia;font-size:16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><b><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family:Georgia;font-size:16.0pt;color:#960000;">Our</span></i></b><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family:Georgia;font-size:16.0pt;"> <b><span style="color:#960000;">Mission Statement</span></b>: “It is the primary mission of the Georgetown Cultural</span></i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family:Palatino;font-size:16.0pt;"> </span><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family:Georgia;mso-bidi-font-family:Georgia;font-size:16.0pt;">District to improve public perception of the cultural resources available in Georgetown and the surrounding area.
