The Ten Reasons Arts & Creative Industries are Worthy of Attention

The interconnection of the arts + creative industries to all community and economic sectors is real. Data, concrete community impact examples and personal, life-changing stories and experiences tell the true story. 

Candidates and elected officials' leadership plus strategic public policy and investment can universally put the arts + creative industries on the public agenda.

Let's work together to make every community in Washtenaw County and Michigan a great place for ALL to create, live, work, learn, play and visit!
