Arts & Humanities Working Group

As we struggle in our region to support basic human needs, we sometimes forget that the arts are an important economic driver. Yes, the arts serve to uplift our spirits, but they also employ people in the theaters, at the garages where we park our car on our way to an evening out, and at the restaurants where we dine. And don't forget the babysitters who stay at home with the kids! Grantmakers are working to ensure that the power of the arts isn’t lost when we have discussions about the economy.
