| SMAC Update | January 10, 2011 |
Greetings!
Sacramento has a chance to support a great arts program and I hope you will join the effort. It's easy and will take under 2 minutes of your time! Sacramento's Natomas Arts and Education Foundation, housed at Natomas Charter School for the Visual and Performing Arts, is a finalist for the online Pepsi Refresh Grant. If funded, they will complete their "One Voice" project, promoting intercultural exchange and dialogue with the Middle Eastern community through various forms of art. Support the school's project by voting online for the "One Voice" project. Voting continues through Jan. 31 and you can vote once per day. Warm regards,
Rhyena Halpern, Executive Director
Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission |
