SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 392
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the Northeast Cultural Arts Council on the occasion of
its 30th anniversary, which is being celebrated March 21, 2015; and
WHEREAS, The Northeast Cultural Arts Council is a
nonprofit organization that was founded with the mission of
fostering and supporting the growth and development of the arts
and humanities among urban youth; and
WHEREAS, The council's goal is to foster cultural
awareness, provide early developmental experiences in the
performing arts, nurture the talents of gifted young people, and
provide a safe, creative learning environment in which young
artists can reach their potential; and
WHEREAS, The annual Summer Arts Enrichment Camp is one of the
council's most important projects; this intensive, five-week
exploration of the performing and visual arts offers programs in a
wide array of disciplines, including drawing and painting, dance,
music, theater arts, creative writing, and gymnastics; and
WHEREAS, Through the years, approximately 2,000 young
people have benefited from the Summer Arts Enrichment Camp,
and its participants have performed in such productions as the
Houston Grand Opera's Aida and Manon and in Theater Under the
Stars productions of The Nutcracker; it is truly fitting that
the council receive special recognition for the positive
impact it has had on the lives of Houston's urban youth; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
Legislature, hereby commend the directors, advisors, and
instructors of the Northeast Cultural Arts Council on their
commitment to transforming lives through the arts and extend to
them best wishes for a memorable 30th anniversary celebration;
and, be it further
