The arts are a catalyst, contributing economically to the well-being of our community.

Through ongoing research we will work to develop a significant evidence base with the goal of increasing broad public and private support for arts and culture.

Supporting the cultural sector by:

• Illustrating the cultural sector’s economic contribution, value and impact
• Advancing robust advocacy at local and state levels
• Connecting the dots with individuals, corporations and foundations

Committed partner to local schools and community organizations, with the expertise to channel existing resources within the arts sector for the benefit of students, families and educators.

According to the DOE, students with high levels of arts participation outperform arts-poor students on virtually every measure. Young people who participate in the arts for at least three hours on three days each week through for at least one full year are:

• 4X more likely to be recognized for academic achievement
• 3X more likely to be elected to class office within their schools
• 4X more likely to participate in a math and science fair
• 3X more likely to win an award for school attendance
