Abstract from the distributor:
Placing the arts at the heart of the civic realm is essential to a rich and vibrant city. With rapid urbanization, the arts and humanities serve as indicators of the health and vigor of urban communities and civic life. The diversity of artistic and cultural forms in an urban landscape creates a force for change, a gesture of generosity, and a venue for exploration, contemplation, discourse, and action.
The arts and humanities have a unique place in the cultural, economic, and social life of a city, creating a spirit of collective generosity that shapes the quality and complexity of the urban experience. Join this discussion in thinking about cities, generosity, and the arts.
