Art is essential.
Not only does live performance entertain us, but it also provides opportunities for emotional catharsis and community engagement. A well-told story can change how we see the world.
Plus, supporting local business has never been more vital. Valuing the contributions of local artists, arts organizations, and restaurants is a meaningful way to impact local economies.
We need all the opportunities we can get to make sense of the tumultuous times we’re living through.

Many, many other countries, cultures, and societies recognize the value of artists.
