CREATE A LEGACY
When you include Atlantic Center in your estate plans, you demonstrate your commitment to changing and transforming lives. Through your foresight and generosity, you play a key role in establishing a solid foundation for ACA and ensuring its future growth. Through your gift you can elect to support a range of programs – from artists-in-residence to children’s workshops to building maintenance – or select one for which you are the most passionate.
Margie Pabst and Ed Harris each elected to leave a legacy while they are here to enjoy the impact of their gifts. Through Margie’s extraordinary endowment contribution, three master writers, each known as the Pabst Endowed Chair for Master Writers, and four Associate writers, are funded annually. This significant gift provides a relief to ACA’s operating budget, as it allows her generosity to be experienced directly by talented and appreciative artists. Ed Harris’ munificent endowment gift provides support for ACA’s community art programs, again providing operational assistance, as well as positively influencing creators of every age. Your gift can consist of cash, stock, securities, real estate or personal property. For more information on ACA’s Endowment program, contact Ann Brady at abrady@atlanticcenterforthearts.org or 386-427-6975, ext 17.
I came to ACA expecting a traditional residency, but what happened during my 3 weeks completely surpassed my expectations. The staff took care of our every need. The Master Artist belied her title and became a friend. My writing took off in unexpected directions, and I collaborated with composers and visual artists. I learned that being in the company of other artists is one of life's greatest joys. This was a life-changing experience, both humbling and empowering.

Jack Mitchell Work Exhibited at Guggenheim Bilbao
Two poster-size photographs by Jack Mitchell are currently being shown at the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum in Spain. The photographs are hanging in the didactic section ofthe exhibition, Robert Rauschenberg Collaborations With Other Artists.
One Mitchell photograph shows dancer/choreographer Trisha Brown being spun in the air by dancer Lance Gries, both wearing Rauschenberg designed costumes. The other image shows Rauschenberg with Brown before a mobile stage set and lighting apparatus. The photographs were taken in New York City in 1987 and 1989.
Robert Rauschenberg visited Atlantic Center for the Arts during Trisha Brown’s Residency in 1989 to assist her in creating a ballet for her dance company.
The exhibition opened February 13, 2010 and will be up until September. Jack Mitchell was a Master Artist-in-Residence in 1983 and served on the National Council (artistic advisory board) from 1993-2006.

The 2008 - 2009 Annual Review is available online at www.atlanticcenterforthearts.org.
FUNDING NEWS
Sally Mead Hands Foundation Awards $16,000 Grant to ACA
Atlantic Center is thrilled to announce a new grant award of $16,000 from the Sally Mead Hands Foundation to provide residency scholarships to 16 Associate Artists in Music/Composition. In January 2010, the Foundation invited ACA to apply. Sally Hands, who passed away in 2009, was a part-time resident of New Smyrna Beach and a donor to ACA. She was passionate about music, music composition and the artists who create this work.
“In the spirit of her giving heart and her descendants’ desire to continue her commitment to the creation of a better world, the Sally Meads Hands Foundation supports projects that increase human and environmental capital in a world of limited resources.” The Sally Mead Hands Foundation Scholarships invite and support transformational artistic growth in the lives and work of 16 exceptional composers and musicians in the vital emerging and midcareer stages of their careers.
