Industries We Support
The value of art and creativity plays a huge role in our communities and plays an integral part in the global economy. Today, the words "artist" and "creative" cover a vast and diverse industry—everything from graphic design to fiber arts, to energy healing, to architecture.
Artists and creatives work in all kinds of ways in our society—they run their own businesses, have jobs in industries like nonprofits, education, and government, and create things that make our communities more vibrant.
