WCAC Projects for 2012
The Drama group Atamaha Community Theatre will use the studio to follow through on the summer drama camp. ACT will be using the Studio on Tuesdays right after school until 6:30.

WCAC particpated in The Boys & Girls club "Day of Service" on MLK day 9-6 to help with some of their needs. We have been asked to adopt the art room. We can discuss further what that can entail and make a decision as a group.

We also think Giana's suggestion for a "Studio Tour" would be something to follow through on maybe this summer or fall.... we made a list of possible artist that have studios. The Tour of Studios could be fund-raiser for the WCAC to offer a scholarship or start a scholarship fund for a WCHS student planning to pursue a degree in the arts.

The last item we discussed is joining the Art Club for an art show at WCHS May 8th - during the spring concert. The show woul dbe open to the public before, during intermission, and after the concert. We will need to discuss the logistics and make plans.

The Chamber requests art on display be for sale -which ties in with their economic goals for Wayne County. We are grateful for this opportunity to represent the best of our region.
