There is hereby established an Arts Council that is an entity
of the Village of Mamaroneck, which is also referred to as the "Village
of Mamaroneck Arts Council" (a.k.a. "VOMAC"). Said Council will promote
a close working relationship among all groups in the area.
The Council's purpose shall be to promote the performing and
cultural arts within the Village. It shall seek to foster and attract
to the Village entertainment on as many different levels and in as
many different fields as possible. It shall have the power to raise
monetary support for programs from the public at large, and such funds
may not be used by the Village for purposes other than for the furtherance
of the Council's program. Additional programming funds may be raised
from the public through voluntary contributions or through admission
charges. All funds shall be collected in the name of the Village of
Mamaroneck through the Clerk-Treasurer. No solicitation of funds by
the Village of Mamaroneck Arts Council from the public, other than
admission charges, shall be conducted without prior approval by the
Board of Trustees.
Programs will be aimed at providing educational entertainment
on three levels: amateur, semiprofessional and professional. The programs
will be free to the public whenever possible. Admission charges may
be made for performances.
There will be a close working relationship between the Council
and all groups in the area.
