The Dickson Performing Arts Center, Inc. board of directors has recently announced a total of $36,000 in funding for nine community arts organizations through the Dickson Community Funding Program. This was the 7th and will be the final year for a program which has provided over $56,000 in support for projects that encourage public participation in the performing arts in Teller County.
Funding was recently awarded to: the Cresson Dance Company; Jr. Woodland
Players; Mountain Acoustic Music Association; Rampart Rock'n Jazz; Ute
Pass Family Theatre; Ute Pass Symphony Guild; Woodland Music Series; Woodland
Park Community Singers; and, the Woodland Park Wind Symphony. In addition,
the Dickson Community Funding Program has recently purchased a new Yamaha
P-140 Digital Piano and donated it to the City of Woodland Park for use
at the Ute Pass Cultural Center.
Monies for the Dickson Community Funding Program have accrued through
donations, investment of Dickson Performing Arts Center assets and revenues
from the annual Sounds of the Season Holiday Home Tour previously held
the first weekend in December. Additional funds were made available for
distribution in this the final year of the Dickson Community Funding Program
because the Dickson Performing Arts Center, Inc. will be dissolved on
June 30, 2008. It is hoped that the above performing arts organizations
will use these donated funds to provide for and enhance their community
programs for years to come.
