With support from the California Arts Council, the Modoc County Arts Council will have funding for general operations: pay for the director’s part-time salary, facility expenses, public outreach materials, consultants, service providers, and instructors. Surplus funds will be applied to programs within the guidelines of the CAC and the MCAC.
The Modoc County Arts Council is organized into four main programs: Visual Arts, Arts Education, Performing Arts, & Culture. Under Visual Arts we have gallery shows including a student art show, and a digital art gallery (pending), Sponsorship of galleries in two Modoc towns, mural projects on buildings in Alturas and Cedarville; under Arts education we have consulting and collaborating with the Modoc High Art Classes, our Arts Instructors Program in partnership with The Art Center of Alturas, and sponsorship of local galleries in two Modoc County towns that have arts educational programs; under Performing Arts we have the Missoula Children’s Theatre one-week residency and the Poetry Out Loud programs for Modoc County, as well as partner with the Modoc Performing Arts Theater and the Modoc High School Drama Club. We have implemented the Modoc Community Concert Series and have four concerts per year – we hope to expand this to eight concerts per year with additional funding. We have a community radio station KILN 99.1 LP FM that has local content from area musicians and provides consulting and assistance with recording. Under Culture we have anticipated partnerships with the Library, Museum, local ranches, and Tribes to provide venues, events, and classes that foster the celebration and understanding, and artwork of different cultures in Modoc County.
