SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 392
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize the Northeast Cultural Arts Council on the occasion of |
|
|
its 30th anniversary, which is being celebrated March 21, 2015; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Northeast Cultural Arts Council is a |
|
|
nonprofit organization that was founded with the mission of |
|
|
fostering and supporting the growth and development of the arts |
|
|
and humanities among urban youth; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The council's goal is to foster cultural |
|
|
awareness, provide early developmental experiences in the |
|
|
performing arts, nurture the talents of gifted young people, and |
|
|
provide a safe, creative learning environment in which young |
|
|
artists can reach their potential; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The annual Summer Arts Enrichment Camp is one of the |
|
|
council's most important projects; this intensive, five-week |
|
|
exploration of the performing and visual arts offers programs in a |
|
|
wide array of disciplines, including drawing and painting, dance, |
|
|
music, theater arts, creative writing, and gymnastics; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through the years, approximately 2,000 young |
|
|
people have benefited from the Summer Arts Enrichment Camp, |
|
|
and its participants have performed in such productions as the |
|
|
Houston Grand Opera's Aida and Manon and in Theater Under the |
|
|
Stars productions of The Nutcracker; it is truly fitting that |
|
|
the council receive special recognition for the positive |
|
|
impact it has had on the lives of Houston's urban youth; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend the directors, advisors, and |
|
|
instructors of the Northeast Cultural Arts Council on their |
|
|
commitment to transforming lives through the arts and extend to |
|
|
them best wishes for a memorable 30th anniversary celebration; |
|
|
and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for the |
|
|
council as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
