The Arts of Collin County is giving power to the people by leaving the vote up to its supporters and area residents.
The organization sent a mass email last week asking for input on two naming options and left a little room to let some creativity flourish.
"We are getting good number of responses and are anxious to see if anyone will come up with any other ideas," Mike Simpson, executive director for the ACC, said. "We whittled through names and ideas and came up with two good choices, but there are a lot of creative people out there and we want to see what names, if any, come up from the survey."
The two choices, developed by a group of business executives, advisory board members, art group members and donors, are "The Arts Park" and "Inspiration Arts Park." A slogan -- "where arts, nature and community come together" -- is also being voted upon; Simpson said the organization is open to ideas on it as well.
The previously discussed name change could require a little extra spending, but Simpson said all money spent by the organization is listed in its financials and must be voted upon by the three owner cities -- Plano, Allen and Frisco.
According to a document released by the ACC last month, branding, design and production is estimated to cost between $15,000 and $17,000. Printing of business cards, collateral, letterheads, a website redo, and signage is estimated to be another $10,000 to $15,000; however, the organization is hoping for in-kind donations to help cover expenses.
The survey will run through April 19, and results will be announced at the following board meeting.
