Art Beat ~ August 2011
Third times a charm! The Elk County Council on the Arts is once again competing in the Pepsi Refresh Project for a grant to renovate our local gallery. Throughout the month of August, daily votes are needed from EVERYONE to help us receive $25,000 for much needed lighting, flooring, and other necessities within the gallery space. ECCOTA first competed in this national project from Pepsi in January of this year finishing in the 120s for the $25,000 slot. May launched our second attempt bringing us much closer with a rank of 64 thanks to the help of many of our members and our community. This third time we are going all out, fighting our way into the top 15 to receive the necessary funding needed to promote our local artists, classes, and events. We want to give the community a gallery to be proud of!
Voting is quick and easy! All you have to do is text 107970 to Pepsi (73774) DAILY throughout the month of August. You can also vote by going to our Pepsi web page, www.refresheverything.com/gottaeccota, which gives complete information about the project and how ECCOTA plans to utilize this much needed grant. Each voter is permitted 5 votes per day so we are asking that you use the other 4 votes for projects you feel passionate about. Just remember to add to their comment section: A vote of support from ECCOTA, please return the love! Numerous grant goers from additional competing amount brackets are helping others by voting for their projects in return.
In addition, ECCOTA is hard at work scouring the town for yellow Pepsi caps! These yellow caps have codes for Power Votes that can be worth up to 100 votes. You can use these when you vote on the Pepsi website or you can help us collect them and drop them off at many participating locations such as the ECCOTA gallery, Aiello’s Cafe, Patalano’s Place, Sheetz, Ridgway Chamber, and The Village Peddler to name a few. We have utilized numerous Power Votes which have helped us get to number 31 already this month!
Watch the ECCOTA website, Facebook, and the newspapers throughout the month of August for events and rallies to promote the Pepsi Refresh Project. Let’s keep up the good work folks!
ECCOTA would like to send out a very special thanks to the great interns that helped with another successful summer of youth programming! Interns Derek Bauer and Sara Krug worked very hard with the kids of our community on the Summer Theater Camp, Visual Arts Camp, Anything Art and Anything Performance Shows, AND the Free or Three Classes. This fall, Derek will head back to Edinboro for his final year finishing up a Bachelor of Arts in Art Education. Sara will be off to St. Vincent College for her freshman year in Communication. We couldn’t have done it without them and we are sad to see them go, but wish them much success in their futures!
ECCOTA would also like to thank the community for taking the time to help us provide an outlet for the talented artists of our region and provide events and education in the arts. We couldn’t do it without you….so let’s VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!
