Piper Charitable Trust for its community relief grant of $52,500 and for its grant of $175,000 in support of business and marketing planning for Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts’ new “Discovery” initiative, which will explore the arts and culture of a different region of the world each year. This series is to begin in the 2011–12 season.

Finally, the dynamic partnership that exists between the Scottsdale Cultural Council and City of Scottsdale continues to make possible the array of world-class artists and programs that make our organization a cultural leader in the region. The wisdom embodied in this municipal investment in the arts is an implicit recognition of the integral role the arts play in sustaining the extraordinary quality of life and the economic vitality of Scottsdale. The Cultural Council thanks Mayor Jim Lane and the members of the Scottsdale City Council for their endorsement of and confidence in the Cultural Council, and for their commitment to the arts and to our organization’s vision and mission.

None of these positive outcomes would be possible without our outstanding management and staff and their tremendous dedication and commitment to the ideals of the Scottsdale Cultural Council. I am especially proud of everyone’s performance under the pressure of an intense year of activity in a very adverse environment. This was reflected in the quality and innovation that permeated everything the Cultural Council presented in 2010–11.
