OAC APPOINTS APPALACHIAN FIELD OFFICERSArtists and arts organizations in Ohio's 29 Appalachian counties can now contact the Ohio Arts Council right in their own back yard. The OAC has created a Southern Ohio field office to help facilitate community planning of arts and crafts programs in Ohio's Appalachian region. Donna Sue Groves, a native Appalachian and energetic arts advocate who has been working in the region for five years, has been named Southern Ohio field coordinator for the OAC Appalachian Arts Program. Groves will provide OAC grant writing assistance and help connect artists and arts organizations in the region with other funding opportunities. She will continue to locate artists in the area to help them promote themselves at festivals and area events. (CONT'D. PAGE 3) |
