ABOUT:
Collectively, we celebrate the transformative power of creativity. As advocates, we recognize the importance of linking the arts to economic and health outcomes. And while considerable research has been done to measure these extensive, positive effects, it is essential to work together to deepen these insights for the sake of a continuously thriving arts and culture sector.
