The Arts Foundation of Cape Cod presented our Third Annual Creative Collaborative Conference on Thursday, March 25, 2010 at the Cape Codder Resort & Spa in Hyannis for a sell-out crowd of more than 250 attendees. The cultural community of Cape Cod gathered for a full day of business-based presentations, panel discussions, displays, and activities featuring a stellar faculty and an engaged audience. The evening culminated in an awards reception which showcased several of Cape Cod's most promising aspiring artists during which the annual Creative Community Awards were bestowed.
Our sincere thanks to the Cape Cod Five Cents Savings Bank Charitable Foundation Trust and the Cape Codder Resort and Spa for their generous philanthropic support of this essential cultural economic development programming.

CCCMA and CCSO Reveal Plans to Merge
The Cape Cod Conservatory of Music and Arts and the Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra have announced plans to launch "Unite4Excellence," a capital fundraising campaign aimed at merging the two non profit organizations. The merger of these two arts organizations will create a stronger link between music performance and music education; a greater investment in music and arts programs for students of all ages; and an improved ability to further the cultural, educational, and economic interests of the region.
In order for the merger to take place by the target date of August 31, 2010, the CCCMA and the CCSO have agreed to raise $300,000 by June 30, 2010. Three local foundations have created a challenge grant of $100,000. The additional $200,000 must be raised through the "Unite4Excellence" capital campaign, with the merger contingent on a successful outcome. Once merged, the Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra's name will remain the same and the Conservatory's new name will be the Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra Conservatory of Music and Art.
The Honorary Chair of the Unite4Excellence Campaign Committee is Jung-Ho Pak, Artistic Director & Conductor, Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra. AFCC Board President, Margaret Van Sciver and AFCC Board members Daniel A. Wolf and Wendy Northcross are joining many others to co-chair this fundraising campaign.

Craft Emergency Relief Fund Joins National MayDay Readiness Campaign

In joining MayDay 2010, CERF will concentrate its efforts on individual artists by encouraging them to take one step toward covering their A's (art, assets, archives). CERF, the "go-to" organization for emergency preparedness for studio artists, will use its newly released Studio Protector: The Artist's Guide to Emergencies as the focus of several MayDay outreach activities. The Studio Protector is the first-ever disaster preparedness toolkit to be created specifically for artists. It includes both a wall-mounted guide and a companion website.
