The annual meeting of the Chisholm Trail Arts Council will take place on Monday June 16, 2008 at the CTAC office, 717 W. Willow, Suite 6, Duncan, at 5:30 p.m. The public is invited to attend the meeting, and current members of the Chisholm Trail Arts Council are eligible to vote for previously nominated candidates to the Board of Directors. Election to the Board of Directors is for a three-year term, which begins July 1.

The regular monthly board meeting will take place immediately following the annual meeting, at which time the Board of Directors will discuss regular business. The mission of Chisholm Trail Arts Council is to provide accessible artistic programs that enhance the quality of life, encourage economic development and educate the people of Stephens County.

For over 32 years Chisholm Trail Arts Council has filled a tremendous cultural need in the Stephens County community through many projects. Arts Explosion , a summer youth arts camp and Artists in Schools are a few of the programs available to the youth of the area. CTAC also offers the Live From the Center performance series filled with nationally and internationally acclaimed performers, and the 2008-2009 season is no exception. Season highlights include the No Justice performing September 6, 2008, a young Red Dirt band featuring the lead vocals of Duncan’s own Steve Rice, the classical sounds of the Hugo Wolf Quartett from Austria on October 17, 2008 , and the world renowned Golden Dragon Acrobats of China on March 12, 2009 who recently completed their 2008 touring season with a sold out Symphony Hall in Bo ston, Massachusetts.

Grants, which cover a percentage of programming fees, are available to the organization, but CTAC relies heavily on local support for these programs to become reality. Membership in CTAC is provided through financial contributions from private citizens and businesses within the community.
