At Monday’s (Jan. 27) regular council meeting, Elevate the Arts proposed a community partnership that would see continued funding for 2025 through to 2027 in Cumberland.
The partnership sees the Village covering four annual events that Elevate the Arts Society has presented in the past: a Halloween event, an Easter event, the summer concert series and the new Christmas event.
The agreement allows for $14,000 to be allotted to the four events over each year for the Village of Cumberland recreation staff to work with Elevate the Arts.
Council agreed that the events are well received by the Village of Cumberland community and the events should continue.
The proposal was voted to pass unanimously, with Elevate the Arts continuing to provide the community events for the next two years.
