Ongoing Efforts
After its formation as a 501(c)3, the Nat Greene began to reshape itself and adopted a considerably more proactive stance in its role with cultural and historic preservation and began to develop a series of events designed to enlighten regional communities about the cultural assets they each possess.
As such a number of activities have been developed to expand their vision in historical and cultural preservation with the Arts as a catalyst.
- In 2005, Nat Greene refined its scope to develop an annual conference and arts festival called the “Creative Communities Conference” and the “Art Blast on the Mon” which began the Summer of 2006.
- In 2008, the Creative Communities Conference expanded to a series of Seminars known as “Second Saturdays” designed to discuss emerging activities and developments in sustainable communities, arts education, networks, co-op marketing and a number of growing areas valuable to rural communities seeking to attract artists, services, and individuals to their community.
- In 2009, Nat Greene announced the expansion of its Annual Festival to encompass three areas of demonstrations and performance art. Additionally, the Creative Community Conference will be expanding to Waynesburg University in order to accommodate a larger audience.

Famous quotes containing the words ongoing and/or efforts:
“When one of us dies of cancer, loses her mind, or commits suicide, we must not blame her for her inability to survive an ongoing political mechanism bent on the destruction of that human being. Sanity remains defined simply by the ability to cope with insane conditions.”
—Ana Castillo (b. 1953)
“There is a totalitarian regime inside every one of us. We are ruled by a ruthless politburo which sets ours norms and drives us from one five-year plan to another. The autonomous individual who has to justify his existence by his own efforts is in eternal bondage to himself.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
