A County-Wide Conversation
In addition, the Arts Institute Fund Committee is intent on developing a conversation in Evansville and Vanderburgh County focused on arts education, its benefits for students, and how it can provide growth in higher learning skills for all young people. Our goal is to enlist artists, non-profit arts organizations, donors, teachers, educators, and civic-minded individuals in this conversation so that we can work together to better the quality of life for our whole community.
