You might think that as a board member that I'd be biased in favor of the AACA, you're right. I am. I am biased in their favor because they cared enough to seek out artists and administrators from every art and cultural entity in this region and to include them as members on their board, to listen to their input, to have their future guided by those on the front lines, that they pound the pavement putting out listings of events for both tourists and locals, that they created a website that became the regional go to site to both post and to see whats happening in our area, that they create community collaborations and events. I think I'd love them even if not on their board. Their dedication & determination has resulted in increased tourism, participation and awareness in the arts. I also run a nonprofit arts studio and they serve us well!
