Cultural Council
Cultural Council's Mission
Work to strengthen partnerships between the arts and businesses.
Business support for the arts is driven less by a charitable focus and more by a focus on how the arts economically impact the communities in which their employees live and work.
To this end it is a benefit to businesses to help drive success and form a thriving arts community.
