A passionate commitment to the arts is essential for a strong and vibrant community. Art requests should provide opportunities for people to experience, understand, and appreciate how different kinds of artistic expression can enrich their lives.

The Foundation considers programs that sustain arts and culture and increase participation in these areas:

• Performing Arts – including ballet, symphonies, theaters
• Visual Arts and Museums – ranging from art displays, to sculpture parks and museums
• Arts Education – providing opportunities that encourage people of all ages to engage in and experience the arts
• Capital Projects – new construction or upgrades to existing arts facilities

It is crucial that future generations are prepared to tackle critical life decisions. The Foundation gives priority to educational organizations with whom we are personally involved, and those that help students gain the knowledge and experience they need to compete in a global economy.
