Why Support the Arts?

The Arts enhance our “Quality of Life.

Their presence is an incentive for people to move into our region.

The Arts attract tourism.

Arts travelers are ideal tourists, staying longer and spending more to seek out authentic cultural experiences.

The Arts are good for local merchants.

Attendees at nonprofit arts events spend $24.60 per person, per event, beyond the cost of admission at local businesses.

The Arts have a positive social impact.

The Arts bring us together regardless of ethnicity, religion, or age and leads to higher civic engagement, more social cohesion, higher child welfare, and lower poverty rates. A vibrant arts community ensures that young people are not left to be raised solely in a pop culture and tabloid marketplace.

The Arts improve academic performance.

Students with an education rich in the arts have higher GPAs and standardized test scores, and lower drop-out rates.

The Arts strengthen our economy.

Arts and culture sector represents a larger share of the economy than tourism and agriculture.
