Arts and culture are essential to us all.
Creativity is vital to all sectors, not something separate from the rest of life. We support incorporating art meaningfully and completely into the fabric that binds our daily lives and recognizing that the arts are a tool for solving the pressing issues facing society today. If that is accomplished, no one will be left out from creating or enjoying the arts, and every sector will have a role as both beneficiary and benefactor.
