I'm looking forward to the possibilities of … such a larger space; we're going to use every square inch available. |
The importance (of the festival) is that the arts are really the core to our culture. Everything revolves around the arts and some of the research now in education is showing very clearly that the arts are really core to that. That you can do so much more with the arts: developing the brain, developing connections in the brain, developing how people learn, how children learn. |
We took up the entire space (of the old Grand Wayne Center). All the side rooms, every inch of it. So now we're all in one area. So much nicer and it's great. |
