Greetings to all our
supporters and friends
As a non-profit organization, the Sussex County Arts and Heritage Council (SCAHC) depends upon the local
community, to help our staff and volunteer Board continue our mission: “To foster and promote the artistic
and cultural vitality of Sussex County.”
Have you ever made a difference in someone’s life? Well, here at SCAHC we strive to do exactly that. Whether you
love art, history, or both, you, your family, and friends will be able to enjoy and support our efforts. Whether it is for
visual art, vocal, music, theater, or local history, through your financial gifts will support our efforts.
Here is an example of one such instance… A young man, who was a recent grad of a local high school, had heard of SCAHC and wondered if his art was something worth exhibiting. We sat together and reviewed some of his work and I encouraged him to enter his work in our next show. He was so pleased that we thought his work in graphic arts was good enough to exhibit. During the next week or so, we had several discussions about what works he wanted to enter. We encouraged him to continue his work and to enter our exhibits. This is one of many examples of how we, at SCAHC, reach out to our community.
With the holiday season of giving right around the corner, we think of “Giving to help others.” We are a small non-profit organization working to reach more of Sussex County to bring the arts and history more available to our community. In a poor economy, many people no longer think arts and culture are important.
We hope you will consider supporting the SCAHC in reaching our goal of $20,000 this year. Your gift is extremely important because it offers immediate resources that are directed to our current needs and opportunities. We hope to:
- Provide funding for more scholarships for High School Seniors from Sussex County
- To provide lectures on the history of Sussex County
- To provide funds for a traveling historic exhibit
- To provide funding for local musical artists to perform
- Help in purchasing up to date equipment i.e., speaker system
- Present special workshops for the citizens of Sussex County
