CULTURE WORKS

Arts awareness, advocacy, and programming:culture works promotes artistic events and programs facilitated by more than 300 arts and cultural organizations across an eight-county service area through community publications and regular communications with its stakeholders. The organization works with elected officials at the local and state levels to advocate for the arts and culture sector, coordinates and collects data for economic impact studies, connects educators with local arts education opportunities through its artsdeep program, and connects businesses with individual artists through wellness initiatives. In addition, culture works partners with the national endowment for the arts for creative placemaking projects and with other non-profits for arts-aligned initiatives.
