Advocacy
Art builds talent, skill and technical know-how in partnership with these organizations. Together, we raise the awareness, importance and wonder of Art.
Art, culture, innovation and economic development don’t happen accidentally. They have to be nurtured, using creativity, talent, ambition, and opportunity – qualities that live in every Oregon community.
