Our new Volunteer Coordinator, Lindsey Jones, has been working wonderfully to fill spots when needed for open hours
and has been instrumental into the recruitment in new volunteers. Since her coming on board, she's been able to
review new volunteer applications and bring on new volunteers, help with many administrative duties, help with
exhibits and communication with artists, volunteers and others. She's also been able to fill in the gaps during this
summer when there are less volunteer hours and we've had several newer, younger volunteers (high school students)
that have helped more than usual. Hence why our number of volunteers are up but our hours are lower.

The exhibit reception was wonderful and had a
great turnout despite Summer!
We've added a new board member, Darcy Drew,
who is also a member of the exhibit committee and
an active, current volunteer.
Our exhibit committee has been established and
getting ready for the next exhibit of Texas
Metalsmiths, which include Harlan Butt and Ana
Lopez.
We are finalizing details on workshops for the end
of the year and next year; one of them is Brenda
Hash, who is one of the judges for Art Hop.
Art Hop, in its 9th season, is underway with a
deadline date of August 28th. We are promoting the
event and working with sponsors to get out the
word.

In July, we had a great turnout at the Fantasy &
Reality exhibit reception with an estimated of at
least 500 people as well as a great turnout
during the artist talk on Sunday. Historically,
summer has lower numbers and traffic is
typically less, the reception and exhibit has been
a bit success thus far. As school starts, we expect
more people to be visiting in the middle to end
of August.

Georgetown Arts & Culture Board Grant Report
August 1, 2016
• Georgetown Heritage Society
Games of wit, agility, stamina, guts 6 sheer luck!
We came. We saw. We conquered #GeargetownTX History!
On April 2, 2016 the Georgetown Heritage Society hosted The Amazing Heritage Quest, a scavenger hunt
race benefitting the GHS Preservation Fund. The event combined trivia, puzzle -solving and physical
challenges around the downtown area highlighting businesses, historic buildings & sites, and included an
adult team competition and a fun family area.
The morning family area, the Quest Fest, provided educational activity stations at 10 locations.
Archeology, architecture, historical figures, industry & commerce, entertainment, ancestry and even
Georgetown's 'green' initiative were part of the morning's lessons. While participation was below
expected levels, attendees were enthusiastic and excited about the event and enjoyed an innovative
learning opportunity.
The Quest Team Challenge rallied fourteen teams, with an age range of 21 to 83 from communities
across Georgetown. Seven Challenges and 21 photo stations offered a variety of educational and fun
activities, involving both physical and intellectual tasks. All activities were presented as 'challenges'
• meant to test the savvy of the participants. The follow-up Survey results, when asked "What was a
favorite part of the Quest?" unanimously reflected a fun way to learn about the history our town. All
were enthusiastic about returning for a 2017 Quest event.
The goal to encourage age & ethnic diversity and seek involvement from Georgetown & surrounding
communities was met 100%. Additionally, the event proved a successful collaboration of fellow Arts &
Culture District non-profit organizations. The Williamson Museum, The Palace Theater, The Georgetown
Art Center, The Georgetown Public Library and Southwestern University all generously supported the
event by lending their facilities & resources and providing volunteers & team enrollment.
Additionally, the event fully met its purpose to instill a deeper appreciation of Georgetown history &
culture; its people and its offerings. At both events, the Quest successfully enabled participants and on-
lookers to learn about the people, architecture, events and folklore of the community by offering
activities that creatively encouraged learning, promoted business and bolstered heritage tourism.
The City of Georgetown Arts & Culture Board was recognized on the GHS and AHQ websites, through
repeated posts on social media outlets, on event signage and in a variety of coverage in the Williamson
County Sun. The generous grant allowed GHS to provide expanded promotion, offer enticing activities to
encourage participation and raise awareness of local preservation efforts and showcase the Arts &
Culture District.
