It’s hard to underestimate the impact arts and culture education have on a populace: When low-
income students who are exposed to the arts in school are twice as likely as their peers to obtain
a college degree, it’s clear that arts and culture can improve the quality of life in a community. In
2018-19, local arts and culture nonprofits used their unique talents to rise up, step into the spotlight
and break the mold. Be an active member of their audience: Go see a live play, make a donation, buy
original art from local artists or advocate for arts education today.
