Arts
& Business: A Healthy Relationship
The arts can be promoted to local businesses
in a variety of ways;
revitalizing downtown areas, beautifying
empty spaces. Remember,
think of your own community and its own
unique characteristics and
demographics. Who knows? You may have
an arts & business
council in your area! If not, search out
those good natured business
people and invite them into a creative
world.

Government
Partnerships with government agencies
may involve some bureaucracy, but often
the state can direct you towards the local
arts agencies in your area. In addition,
the accountability often required for
funding will force a project to adhere to a
time line and a well defined goal. Partnerships
with local agencies can provide
valuable assistance getting your project
off the ground. The sky's the limit!
