Arts Advocates

The Kansas Arts Commission encourages all artists, arts administrators, arts supporters and lovers to advocate for public support of the arts.

The arts are central to healthy communities because they:

• Stimulate economic development

• Make our cities and towns attractive and vibrant places to live and work

• Attract tourists and out-of-town visitors

• Educate our children to succeed in school and beyond

• Beautify our neighborhoods

• Provide important social and creative outlets for all our citizens, including seniors, those with disabilities, children and adults

• Bringing people of diverse backgrounds together in productive ways
