The ARTS and the economy

I think we need to work to expand the arts into all our communities for both cultural benefits and economic benefits. As was discussed by Rhona Friedman we need to do a survey of existing arts organizations in each community. There has also been a suggestion that we expand the District's website and include a calendar of happenings in each community- possibly listed by ANC area- so that people have a place to go to find out all the possibilities for involvement in their communities. There should inlcude an Arts calendar in each community.

We should also be looking at collarboration with the schools and faith community to find venues that can be used by Arts groups- either free or at very reduced rates.

Supporting the Arts

Adrian Fenty will support and promote the incredible diversity of the Arts that we are fortunate to have here in the District.  The arts both nourish our souls and our economy.
