What does your $100.00 investment assure?

First of all, your Gold Key Quest Ticket provides you with a full one-year membership in the Arts and Humanities Council of Southwest Louisiana.  You will receive newsletters, special invitations to gallery openings and receptions and news of cultural programming throughout the 5 Parishes of Imperial Calcasieu.

The Council will fund Cultural Economy Grants in our 5 parish service area.  This year, the proceeds will go to Jefferson Davis Parish's proposed Energy Museum.  (This grant is projected to be $50,000 per year, alternating from Calcasieu to Jeff Davis.  Then, Beauregard, Allen and Cameron over the following 3 years).  The Quest also will help fund an emergency arts relief grant (Known as "Bridging the Gap") available to artists and arts organizations throughout the 5 parishes.  This Grant is to cover unforeseen problems impacting the affected artists and groups.  (Projected amount for 2008 is $25,000)

The balance of the funds goes to the operations of the Council to allow for a greater ability to financially assist those agencies we support.  From Banners to the Symphony, ABOB to Impromptu Players, from the 5 Parish Library Systems to Heritage Festivals throughout the area, the council wants to increase assistance to our constituents and eliminate the need to compete with them for funding.  Your Gold Key Quest Purchase will help us do all of these things and more!

You may purchase your Gold Key Quest tickets by visiting www.goldkeyquest.com.  There is a link to our direct credit-card service on the website.  You may prefer to use our multi-debit feature that allows you to break your purchase into 2, 3 or 4 payments.  Please call the office to take advantage of the Easy Quest billing option!  (337) 439-2787.
