As the chairperson of the ArtinStark board of directors, I have seen firsthand how this organization has served a vital and visionary purpose for the arts community in Stark County.

Earlier this month, ArtsinStark kicked off the annual county arts campaign. This is a crucial initiative that funds vital programs and projects that benefit our community. From supporting local artists and our major cultural organizations to providing arts education in schools, your contributions make a significant impact on our county.

With community support, we can continue to maintain and grow the arts in Stark County. 

If you are an individual or family, consider making a donation to the arts campaign as a way to collectively support our vibrant arts community. Investing in the arts means you are investing in the well-being of our community. Studies have shown that exposure to the arts improves academic performance, enhances social cohesion, and boosts local economies. By supporting the arts campaign, you are supporting artists and arts organizations and investing in the future of Stark County.

If you are a business leader, please consider running a workplace campaign or donating on behalf of your business. Business leaders understand the importance of investing in the vitality of our community. Supporting the arts campaign is not just about philanthropy; it's about investing in the overall well-being and economic prosperity of Stark County. Vibrant arts and cultural sectors contribute to the economic development of regions, attracting talent, tourism, and investment.

Whether you contribute as an individual, family, or business, your support is invaluable in ensuring that the arts continue to thrive in our community.
