Thriving Arts and Cultural Community
Arts and cultural programs contribute significantly to the vibrancy of a community. A rich blend of arts reflects the historic and cultural diversity of our city and region. The cultural arts enrich lives and are an integral part of a dynamic and thriving community.
The Foundation has identified several key outcomes that guide its grant making in arts and cultural programming:
- Access to a variety of visual and performing arts is essential.
- Education in the arts is available to children and adults.
- Programs seek to grow diverse audiences.
- The Foundation supports world class venues and events.
