Rural Arts Connect

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The RAC project was made possible by the generous support of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, as well as a cost-share by the Aspen Art Museum. We could not have done this work without this grant, and would like to express our sincere gratitude to the IMLS for supporting the project. This project was the result of the hard work, brilliance, and creativity of many people. All quoted material from RAC Network organizations, unless noted otherwise, are attributed as follows:

Chaffee Arts - Terry Stevens NMHFM - Jordan Bennett The Creamery - Terra Hegy Gunnison Arts Center - Brieanna Radford

Grand Mesa Arts & Events Center - Deborah Shaffer Art Center of Western Colorado - Rachel Egelston Arts for All - Rose Costello

We would like to thank Michelle Dezember for setting us out on this journey and Annie Henninger for taking the helm so skilfully and warmly steering us through turbulent waters over the three-year term. We would also like to thank those who were involved as RAC Network partners but have moved on to other organizations: Myles Gallagher of NMHFM and Neal Schwieterman of Arts for All. Thank you Summer Orr for designing graphics for the guideā€™s cover, table of contents, and acknowledgements page. Lastly, but certainly not least, we would like to acknowledge our partners past and present at COSI: Dolly Hayde, Justin Reeves Meyer, and Rebecca F. Kemper. Each person played an integral role in the success of RAC. We hope to stay connected, and that everyone who contributed to this project feels that they can reach out at any time for support, to share ideas, or just to chat. Thank you!
