Last Thursday the Club welcomed Township Commissioner Peter Smock to talk about the West Norriton Arts Commission. Peter is the Commissioner liaison between the township and the Arts Commission, and has worked with them to make art an integral part of the West Norriton landscape. He gave examples of several events, fundraisers. and local beautification projects.
Examples of Beautification projects, bringing artistic designs to plain objects
Peter spoke of the two main goals of the Arts Commission: Inspiring Residents in the Arts- using their funds to pay artists to perform at community events, pay for artists to contribute works to community beautification drives, put together shows for artists to display their work; Inspiring Students in the Arts- working with the school system encouraging arts participation, and by teaching courses at MCCC.
The Arts commission is funded by grants, personal donations, funding from the Township, and special events like the vocal arts program on Feb. 9. (see details below in the newsletter)
