Community Investment

Meaningful community investment can take shape in a variety of ways and requires cultivating relationships with people — plus finding ways to enable their connection to a project, process, or group of people. The wider the variety of artistic experiences, the more likely it is that we meet the needs and interests for everyone in the community.
