Why is it so important to fund the AGN? The AGN is an important community builder in our community. In addition to our inherent value to society, we offer a distinctive blend of benefits which include: Economic Drivers: the arts create jobs, stimulate business activity, and attract tourism. Educational Assets: the arts cultivate young imaginations and provide critical-thinking, communications and innovative skills essential to todays workforce. In addition, the AGN provides engagement and involvement for our community volunteers for adults, seniors, youth and families. Health and Wellness: the arts foster physical, mental and emotional health. Civic Pride: the AGN creates a welcoming sense of place and a desirable quality of life. We offer Civic Pride for our community through our changing exhibitions and permanent collection. We are a public space available for free that creates community culture and we are available to all. Cultural Legacy: the AGN preserves culture and heritage, passing along a community’s unique character and traditions to future generation of citizens. The arts are a public good – not merely a consumer product – because everyone benefits from the arts not just those who attend. A thriving community sector creates a positive ripple effect throughout our community and we all benefit from inclusive access to arts activities and experiences.
