Midland's Creative 360 seeks community's financial vote of confidence

Midland's Creative 360 will need all the creativity it can muster in coming weeks as the discovery of financial problems threatens to close its doors. But its board of directors hopes that a stakeholder's meeting at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18, at the arts center at 1517 Bayliss will bring the community support it needs to regain its footing. The organization has enough in its coffers to cover expenses through the end of November, but with a bare minimum of $12,000 a month needed to carry it through the three months its board needs to rebound, Creative 360 has put all its options on the table. "By stakeholders, we mean anyone who has taken a class here or visited an exhibit or attended a play," said board president Bonnie McManus. "We need to know our options as we plan where to go from here. We're hoping that someone, or several people, can come forward and help us through this troubling time.
