  • Public policy and funding supports access to the arts in every community and every classroom across the state and nation.

  • Our state’s creative sector is supported by professional learning opportunities that empower advocates, artists, and organizations.

  • Communities of all sizes embrace the arts as a tool for development, collaboration, and celebration.

What We Value

The “why” behind our advocacy, and the values that inform our work.
