SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

From the desk of Al Head, Exec. Director of the Alabama State Council on the Arts - "On Thursday, June 1, Jane Chu, chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts will give remarks and participate in a conversation with the Alabama State Council on the Arts Director Al Head. The session will take place at the Birmingham Museum of Art at 1pm in the museum's auditorium. The meeting is open to the public and the arts community statewide is especially invited to attend. The "conversation" is anticipated to last approximately one hour.

This session is part of a busy two-day visit by Chairman Chu in Alabama, and I encourage you to come and be part of a conversation at a time when government support for the arts is being given a lot of national attention. We look forward to seeing you on June first in Birmingham. " (Photo of Jane Chu by Steven Peterson c/o National Endowment for the Arts)

The Black Belt Community Foundation works to leverage many region-wide improvement efforts toward a common goal of transforming the Black Belt. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about how we work with community organizations, donors, and volunteers to forge a collective stream of giving from the community and other sources so we can enhance our continuing efforts to lift ourselves by “taking what we have to make what we need.” Please join us as we work to build a transformed Black Belt where all of our residents contribute to healthy communities and reap the benefits of our shared gifts and a productive regional economy.
