The arts enrich our lives as well as having a positive impact on the economic health of our community. Local art organizations are important because they support not just one discipline or style of art, but a wide and inclusive range. They help weave art and culture into the fabric of daily life for everyone in the community. The tapestry created by this threading of arts and culture throughout our community is in large part what brings residents, businesses, conventions and tourism to our county.
