Excellence on Main Awards celebration, and networking opportunities with peers and partners. Take advantage of our early bird discounted rate of $115 through August 8. Visit our

Council, they designed a disaster and crisis recovery support survey. Regardless of whether your Main Street has recently experienced a crisis or disaster your input is helpful. The survey is brief and will only take 10 to 15 minutes to complete, and responses
will help them identify the most effective ways to deploy network support in critical times of need. Thank you for helping spread the word. Here’s the link:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt"><b>WHY ARTS, CULTURE, & HERITAGE?: </b>
Arts and culture bring people together, expand hearts and minds and build vibrant communities. They cultivate, enhance and sustain a sense of community by helping people understand and respect who they are, who their neighbors are and the unique place they
call home. Arts and culture also support the creative economy, providing important economic impact in rural communities. We look for opportunities that harness the power and potential of arts and culture to build better rural citizens, communities and economies.
We want to hear and amplify the voices of our rural communities, which we know can often be best heard and shared through art. In fall 2024, the Oregon Heritage Commission released the
<i>2024 Oregon</i> <i>Heritage Vitality Study Report</i> identifying the top issues impacting the operational vitality of Oregon’s heritage organizations and proposing recommendations to support the health of the heritage sector. One identified area of need
was technical assistance for arts, culture & heritage organizations, including regional art centers, libraries, historical museums, and historically-designated sites.<b><o:p></o:p></b></p>
