In December 2010, the Arizona Commission on the Arts launched a new campaign for the arts, called The Choice is Art. In its first of four years, The Choice is Art campaign will focus on promoting understanding related to the benefits of arts education, and programs which engage students in learning in, through and about the arts.
Through a resource-rich and interactive website, visitors can directly connect with arts programs in their community and learn about the value of the arts. Visitors will also have the opportunity to support and protect the arts in our state by making a contribution to the Arizona ArtShare Endowment, which is held by the Arizona Community Foundation. Interest from this endowment is distributed annually through the grantmaking activities of the Arizona Commission on the Arts. In subsequent years, the campaign aims to highlight the following: the significant contributions of Arizona artists and arts professionals, the positive impact of the arts on community health and livability, the broad economic impact of the arts and culture sector, and the singular role of the arts in promoting cultural understanding. Visit www.thechoiceisart.org to find out how you can get involved. |
