What We Support
Performing Arts
The threads of the performing arts are woven through the tapestry of our historic city—learn more about the singers, actors, dancers, musicians and others who entertain, express emotions, and communicate ideas to make us laugh, cry, and think. Meet some of our performing artists!
Visual Arts
From the city’s beginnings, we have celebrated visual artists how ever they chose to express themselves—painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, photography, video, filmmaking, design, crafts, and architecture. Visit with some of our local visual artists!
Cultural Activities
What is a culture keeper? Folklorists, traditional artisans, historians, librarians, archivists, and museum curators are the folks ensuring that as many aspects of our culture and history are passed on as possible. Meet some of our culture keepers!
