dance with a career dating back to the 1950s. <strong>The</strong> New York Times describes his<br />

fluid style of movement as “spectacular, warm, gracious, and daring.” Six Taylor 2<br />

Greensburg Area <strong>Cultural</strong><br />

Council (GACC), a program<br />

of <strong>Westmoreland</strong> <strong>Cultural</strong><br />

<strong>Trust</strong>, hosted its 13th<br />

Annual Achievement in<br />

the Arts Awards Banquet<br />

on Sunday, May 15, 2011<br />

in Commissioners Hall at<br />

the Youngwood campus<br />

of <strong>Westmoreland</strong> County<br />

Community College. <strong>The</strong><br />

GACC honored 53 high<br />

school seniors from 18<br />

Judges McCormick and Pezze Awards of Artistic Merit<br />

13th Annual Achievement in the Arts Awards Banquet<br />

<strong>Westmoreland</strong> County high schools for their outstanding efforts in music,<br />

theater and the visual arts.<br />

<strong>The</strong> emcee for the evening was Marvin Huls, Professor of Music at Seton Hill<br />

University. He welcomed the audience by stating, “It is a difficult time for those of<br />

us in the arts, but I firmly believe this: <strong>The</strong> arts<br />

are fundamental to our educational system.”<br />

He continued and relayed seven pieces of<br />

advice to the graduating seniors including,<br />

“Resolve to be passionate about your art.<br />

Resolve to say ‘thank you’ more, especially<br />

to those special people who have brought<br />

you to this point and who were important in<br />

your artistic development. Resolve to offer<br />

excuses less. Resolve to do something that<br />

helps someone but benefits you in no way.<br />

Resolve to be where you said you’d be (and<br />

Award of Artistic Merit Plaque on time), do what you said you’d do, and take<br />

POINT. CLICK. GIVE. BRAVO!<br />

<strong>The</strong> challenges facing a non-profit whose primary<br />

mission is to provide cultural and economic development<br />

through live performing arts are great. Over the last<br />

few years, a down economy and foundation giving<br />

reductions have presented a number of financial<br />

challenges. However, through this difficult time, the<br />

<strong>Trust</strong> has been able to count on members such as you<br />

who are willing to not only renew their membership but<br />

take that extra step by participating in the Pittsburgh is<br />

Art Day of Giving.<br />

Through this 24-hour online event, the <strong>Trust</strong> welcomes<br />

eight new members and thanks veteran members who<br />

chose this particular day to rejoin, renew or add to their<br />

membership.<br />

personal responsibility for your actions.”<br />

Judge Debra Pezze also shared her thoughts on the importance of recognizing<br />

students in the arts, stating the banquet is “a wonderful opportunity for us to<br />

recognize the talent and toils of these young adults who do so much to enrich<br />

the quality of life in our community.”<br />

Greensburg Area <strong>Cultural</strong> Council and <strong>Westmoreland</strong> <strong>Cultural</strong> <strong>Trust</strong> would like<br />

to thank event sponsors Dollar Bank, First Commonwealth Bank, McDowell<br />

Associates Insurance and Sanford-Brown Institute for making this celebration<br />

possible.<br />

We extend a special thank<br />

you to <strong>Westmoreland</strong><br />

County Community College<br />

for hosting the banquet<br />

and Trib Total Media for<br />

bringing awareness of<br />

these talented students to<br />

the community.<br />

Over $1.4 million was contributed for more than 150 local nonprofit organizations. Truly a<br />

resounding success!<br />

On behalf of the Board of Directors and <strong>Westmoreland</strong> <strong>Cultural</strong> <strong>Trust</strong>, thank you for your<br />

participation and for making this online event a tremendous success for our community of arts<br />

and culture nonprofits.<br />

On behalf of all involved<br />
