The arts give us the opportunity to pause, so we can appreciate the world around us and understand it in new ways.
Did you know that 70% of Americans enjoy the arts in unexpected and everyday places, such as airports, malls, parks, hospitals, and public streets?
Each year, 72% of Americans seek out
arts and cultural experiences, such
as visual exhibits, public art, music, dance, and theater performances.
These experiences keep us open to lifelong learning and transformation.
It is vital that we build
accessible arts experiences where people of all backgrounds can find a sense of meaning and belonging.
Only half of all Americans believe that equal access to the arts is available, yet we understand its importance—
81% of us believe that art is a positive part of our lives.
Ninety percent of us feel that culture improves our quality of life.
When we work together, we
bring enrichment to our
communities through the arts.
Nearly three-fourths of Americans
believe that art has the ability to unite
us, regardless of differences in
our age, race, ethnicity, or
other factors.
Cultural Launch helps creative placemakers (cultural hubs of all varieties) conceptualize, plan, and implement arts and cultural initiatives.
