The obstacle has always been that all of these services the arts community provides are fragmented. |
There's a larger picture here. Arts and cultural organizations are going to lead the rebirth of this community. |
This grant represents an ambitious challenge to the community. We've learned that students become more engaged with learning and improve their test scores when they are exposed to the arts. Now our challenge is to apply that knowledge in a systematic, comprehensive way with the full array of this community's remarkable cultural resources. |
