Despite the temporary transition period while ARTS NC STATE sought a new permanent Executive Director (title change), there was no pause or break in the action for me or the collective. For ARTS NC STATE, 2014/2015 hardly fit the usual stopgap defi- nition of “interim” because we continued to celebrate students, community, and the arts in new and wonderful ways while we also moved forward as an organization. One amazing feat that’s close to my own heart was the April 14 groundbreaking ceremony for the new Gregg Museum building at 1903 Hillsborough Street, Raleigh. This was finally possible after Arts Development achieved the $9.1 million capital campaign goal in March. That had been the target needed to start the renova- tion of the historic Chancellor’s Residence and begin building the Gregg’s new 15,000 square foot galleries and collections wing. Interim Vice Provost Roger Manley The actual breaking of ground began in late June when H.M. Kern Corporation’s bulldozers and backhoes got down to work. The College of Visual and Performing Arts at Northern Illinois Uni- versity, where he was also a Professor of Percussion for 32 years. Meanwhile, ARTS NC STATE spread its wings in another area this year as well. For the first time, the annual Student Art Purchase On behalf of ARTS NC STATE, I sincerely thank you for all your was made open to the public. Over $3,000 of student art was sold, support during 2014-2015. The Arts are indeed for everyone! with the money going directly to the artists! Sincerely, Another milestone was University Theatre’s celebration of five de- cades of dramatic artistry with its production of Burial at Thebes, poet Seamus Heaney’s re-envisioning of Sophocles’ Antigone. Fifty years ago, Antigone was the very first production at Universi- ty Theatre, so this was a fitting tribute. With the non-stop “gap year” over, ARTS NC STATE now wel- comes Rich Holly as its new Executive Director, as of July 1, 2015. Roger Manley Prior to his appointment at NC State, Rich served as the Dean of University Theatre’s TheatreFest production, Born Yesterday.
