ArtsPartners of Central Illinois has an exciting opportunity for area artists and arts/cultural organizations — as well as art enthusiasts! Illinois Arts Council Agency (IACA) is conducting three down-state visits, and the Peoria/Galesburg area will be the first visit on Wednesday, February 15. You are invited to attend a Town Hall session with IACA Board Chair Nora Daley, Executive Director Joshua Davis-Ruperto, Deputy Director Encarnacion Teruel, and Program Director Teresa Davis. This relaxed session will give you a chance to learn a bit more about IACA, as well as provide feedback about your individual and collective needs.
The session will take place at the Lakeview Room on the first floor of the Peoria Riverfront Museum beginning at 3:30 PM on Wednesday, February 15. A reception will follow at 4:30 PM with light hors d'oeuvres and beverages. All who have an interest in the arts and culture of our region are invited to join. There is no cost. Free parking is available in the adjacent parking deck. RSVPs are not required but greatly appreciated. Email info@artspartners.net.
Background: IACA is embarking on the process of evaluating their current granting programs, so that it may continue to strengthen and meet the needs of the cultural ecosystem in the state of Illinois. The organization is working in 2023 to make the state of Illinois a national model for arts agencies in this country, and your input will be key as they embark on planning and implementation.
Please send this invitation to any Peoria/Galesburg area groups who you think would be interested in joining us.
Again, RSVPs are not required but greatly appreciated. Email info@artspartners.net.
