Discover Diversity Educational
Scholarship Program
Summary
The Discover Diversity Educational Program was created to
bring arts education and an experience to children that otherwise may
never be exposed to such curriculum and performance opportunities. The
performing arts are as diverse as the artists themselves. The
program will open up minds and expose children to different races and
cultures through the artistic content and through fellow performers. The
program encourages individuality while simultaneously teaching students
to work together as part of a group.
Scholarships are awarded to students who meet the following criteria:
- Recommendation letter from teacher or community leader
- Show potential in performance ability
- Maintain at least a 2.5 grade point average in school
- Shows leadership among their peers
The program will cover one or more of the following areas:
- Musical Theatre
- Acting
- Singing
- School of Rock
- Dance
The classes will be lead by teachers from The Premier
Centre for the Arts and Realize Records Artists. The students will
perform on the Family Stage at the 2009 Unicity Performing Arts Festival. Chosen
participants will receive inclusion on the press release.
The classes consist of four rehearsals: February, March, April and
May and average 16 hours total. A minimum of 50 students will be
chosen.
Students must fill out the application form and submit it by Feb
1st 2009. Chosen
students will be announced on the Unicity website on Feb 15th 2009.
Applications will be available starting Dec 15th 2008
A portion of the proceeds from the 2009 Unicity Festival will be
donated to The Tomorrow Fund.
The Tomorrow fund is a 501c3 endowment fund held in trust
with the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore. The purpose of
the fund is to fund the participation of minority and at-risk youth in
fee-based recreation programs the children might not otherwise have the
opportunity to pursue.
The primary programs identified by the board of the Friends of Wicomico
Recreation and Parks include the Salvation Army’s Richard Hazel
Youth Center and Wicomico Recreation and Parks programs. It is hoped
that five hundred or more children and many more programs will be
impacted each year when the fund reaches the funding goal of $250,000.
The campaign is organized by the Wicomico County Friends of Recreation
and Parks and volunteers from the community with the support of the
Department of Recreation, Parks and Tourism. The Wicomico Friends
of Recreation and Park’s board establishes annual goals and
awards the scholarships and grants.

- The Rock the Recycle Mascot contest. Details to be announced shortly.
Angel Pass
Concept behind Unicity
The idea behind the Unicity Festival is to bring people together through the
diversity of performing artists. So often you hear that you can only see
certain types of artists in large cities throughout the country. At last
years festival we were met with contention and told that people did not want
diversity in their towns. Out of that contention the Angel Pass was born.
We asked people across the world if they believed in our concept and thought
it was a positive goal to attempt to reach. If they believed that it was, we
asked that they purchase an angel pass ticket to the event to support it even
if they were unable to attend. Those angel passes were then donated to
local charities and given to people who were not able to afford a ticket, the
opportunity to attend the event.
Due to the large response, we will be offering Angel Passes again this year. They
will be available for purchase when tickets go on sale. Tickets must be
purchased at least 10 days in advance to allow us time to distribute.
If you or your organization would like to be recipients of an angel pass please
contact us at community@unicityfestival.com
