With support from the California Arts Council, Arts and Culture El Dorado will enter Year Three of our mentorship of Alpine County. We have met our Year One and Year Two goals, which included working with elected officials and County staff, merchants, artists, and community leaders; holding public meetings; convening a Steering Committee; choosing a name and deciding on organizational structure; initial program development; filling the new Executive Director position, filing for and receiving nonprofit status, presentation of public programs, refining the organizational budget, and identifying Board members. In Year Three we will focus on fundraising, program development, and marketing, with continued mentorship of the new Executive Director.
