With the first meeting on May 28, 2021, members of the arts, culture and heritage (ACH) community have slowly but surely been chugging along with the formation of the county’s official Local Arts Agency (LAA).
For many, it’s an exciting time to see traditionally competitive organizations working side-by-side for the community’s greater good, and setting an example of what’s possible with the formation of an executive board, bylaws and incorporation, known now as Flagler County Cultural Council or FC3, over the past few months.
Launching a community-wide contest to design the official logo, Richard Hamilton, who has been helping set up and advise the Council as its inaugural Chair said it’s about including the community in the organization’s vision.
“A logo is much more than an image on paper or a screen. It should be a picture telling a story of who we are…symbolizing our hopes to reach out to a broad spectrum of people across the county and unite our diverse cultural, artistic and historical interests to benefit us all,” he said.
The community is invited to take part in the concept design that will be adopted as the organization’s official logo.
“What better start for us than to ask for help from our wealth of local talent?”, asked Hamilton.
