The Fund for the Arts
Launches Newly Enhanced Website
Louisville, KY. --The past few years have
provided powerful reminders of how technology transforms
the way we see our world. The Internet and its means of
communication showcased by many has been recognized worldwide
as a preeminent informational vehicle. On October 18, 2002,
The Fund for the Arts will introduce its newly enhanced
website, www.fundofrthearts.com, featuring an updated arts
events’ calendar, sign up ability for Arts-e-News
in addition to allocations for the monies raised by the
community for the Arts.
The website will allow the community and
contributors access to a more up-to-date, one stop, interactive
place to receive donor information, an art events calendar
that is updated daily and the capability to sign up for
Arts-e-News, donor email containing current arts events
and current specials on tickets applied to the Fund for
the Arts ArtsCARD.
Taking advantage of its unique ability to
inform the public, the website will regularly feature campaign
materials, posters and video footage for the specific year’s
campaign. "At a time when many websites are developing,
we saw the need to broaden our access to the community,
especially using the worldwide web as the vehicle,"
says Allan Cowen, the President and CEO of the Fund for
the Arts. "This new feature expands on our ability
to provide useful information to the public and provide
one-on-one communication to the donors in addition to the
community as a whole”.
On October 18th, another new feature, the
ability to securely donate on-line, provides donors the
ability to contribute directly from their homes. “This
step forward in technology,” says Cowen, “is
for those community members that have repeatedly suggested
this as one way to provide 24-hour access to all that the
Fund for the Arts can offer”. And next year, the FFTA
will offer more even more possibilities and around the clock
communication with everyone interested in the Arts.
The Fund for the Arts’ mission is
to increase revenues for the Arts and to enable our community
to become the preeminent regional arts center in the United
States; and to maximize the impact of the arts on our overall
economic development, education of our children, and the
enjoyment of living in our community.
