Supporting Artists

If communities are going to realize the full potential of artists’ power to contribute to positive change, then they need to sustain and support their artists. Artists can only stay and create experiences if there are communities and organizations who recognize that value, and support it financially. In good times and lean, art brings people together, sustains and connects them, and needs to be a part of the consideration. And since art comes from artists, we need to value our artists, in all senses of the word.
