LIFE of Arts & Culture
A strong LIFE of Arts and Culture means community members experience affordable opportunities for music, visual arts, performing arts, and humanities as offered by arts organizations of all sizes and types; opportunities to develop their own creative and artistic skills; community events that bring residents together to enjoy arts that are culturally rich and diverse; a workforce rich with talented, creative, critically thinking individuals; and a community in which arts are viewed as integrated into the quality of life, not as extracurricular activities.

-- Many see Brown County as an area in need of improved arts and culture.
-- There is room for greater support for artists and creative professionals and art performances.
