Annual Report F Y 2 0 Annual Report FY2017 Dear Arts Council friends and members, Board of Directors FY 2017 It is with great pleasure that we present our fiscal year 2017 Annual Report. As Officers you will discover, there is always something fun and creative happening at the Arts President Council—and it all happens thanks to your support.

Jim Henstrand We are, of course, incredibly grateful for the tremendous support we receive from Severn Bank Howard County Government. For 36 years, we have partnered with the County to Directors Robert Altieri establish a vital and diverse arts community. In FY 2017, we received $800,000 from Howard Bank Howard County to foster the arts. Without the leadership of County Executive Allan Earl Armiger Kittleman and the unwavering commitment of Council members Calvin Ball, Greg Coleen West, Executive Director Orchard Development Corporation Fox, Mary Kay Sigaty, Jen Terrasa, and Jon Weinstein, the vital, diverse arts community Deborah Chen we have today would not exist.

  • Merriweather Post Pavilion
    Citizen Advisory Panel on Merriweather Post Pavilion Final Report Introduction On August 12, 2004, County Executive Jim Robey signed Executive Order No. 2004-03 (attached as Appendix 1), which appointed 16 leaders of the business and arts communities in Howard County to serve on the Merriweather Citizens Advisory Panel (the Panel). He asked the Panel to advise him on whether Howard County (the County) should purchase Merriweather Post Pavilion from The Rouse Company (now General Growth Properties (GGP)), which had announced that Merriweather was for sale provided that the purchaser agrees to meet certain provisions. He asked the Panel to answer five questions: 1. Is there a public service purpose for Howard County to purchase Merriweather Post Pavilion? 2. If there is a public service purpose for the County to purchase Merriweather, what should be the primary purpose of the facility (e.g., a concert venue, an all-purpose arts facility, etc.), what other activities should be permitted and what organizations should have access? 3. Does Merriweather need to be renovated, and if so what type and scope of renovation would be necessary for it to most successfully and effectively achieve the determined primary purpose? 4. What type of management and control structure should be put into place for the operation of this facility? 5. What level of public oversight should exist? In addition, the County solicited proposals for consultant services for a “Feasibility study associated with the possible purchase and renovation of Merriweather Post Pavilion.” The County received five proposals it deemed to be acceptable. Following interviews with the firms that submitted those proposals, the County hired the team of Ziger/Snead LLP Architects, Webb Management Services, Inc.

Our area has experienced rapid growth and regardless of one's stance on such growth, we can all say it's been for those who can afford upper to high end housing. The opportunities Columbia offers to enjoy a multicultural community is precious and should be available to all people, especially those typically shut out due to social and financial status. This project gives a wonderful opportunity to balance that biased structure.
