<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">I am pleased to inform you that
as part of the Council’s strategic planning process, an online survey instrument
is now available for the general public to share their views on the arts in
Maryland. The Arts Council is in the midst of its environmental scan, and
our survey is the next step in collecting the thoughts and opinions of
Maryland’s residents. Attached please find the press release from Governor
Martin O’Malley announcing the launch of the survey and the call for
participation. The online survey will remain open until September 5, 2008.

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Your opinions are important to
us, and I would like to invite you to take a moment to complete the survey. As
the Deputy and A/E Program Director, I am also writing to enlist your help in
encouraging participation in the survey. Through your various networks, we
can insure representation from a broad cross section of Marylanders. We
would greatly appreciate the dissemination of the survey to your constituencies
and contacts. Including a link from your website would also be helpful in
reaching as many individuals as possible. Please note that as an incentive
to complete the survey within the next two weeks, respondents can enter their
emails to win one of five ceramic bowls created by award-winning Maryland
artist, Matt Hyleck. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
