The President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities, the Institute of and Museum Services, the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities announce the sixth year of the national Coming Up Taller Awards. These awards recognize and support outstanding after-school and out-of-school arts and humanities programs for children and youth. As First Lady Laura Bush recently wrote, children participating in programs honored by Coming Up Taller "learn success, discipline and teamwork. And above all, they learn to love learning." These awards also highlight the important role that educators, curators, historians, scholars, librarians, and performing and visual artists play in children's lives. If your organization, or a program that your organization runs, meets the criteria for a Coming Up Taller Award, please consider making a nomination. If you know of organizations and programs you believe warrant consideration, please share this opportunity with them. Applications and nominations for the 2003 awards must be postmarked by April 4, 2003. Information is available at the Coming Up Taller web site at www.cominguptaller.org or from the President's Committee at (202) 682-5409. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The Oregon Arts Commission provides leadership, funding and arts programs through its grants, special initiatives and services. Nine Commissioners, appointed by the Governor, determine arts needs and establish policies for public support of the arts. The Arts Commission became part of the Oregon Economic and Community Development Department in 1993, in recognition of the expanding role the arts play in the broader social, economic and educational arenas of Oregon communities.
