Section 10-A1411. AC-4 INCREASING SUPPORT FOR THE ARTS

 

1411.1The nonprofit arts are not entirely self-supporting. The income generated through ticket sales or by sales of artwork rarely equals the costs of production, leaving arts enterprises to look for other income sources. Individual artists have limited access to funding, and non-profit arts organizations face tough competition for affordable space. Cities all over the United States confront these challenges and continuously seek new sources of arts funding. Expanded local government funding is one approach, but there are many non-traditional approaches being explored. 1411.1

 

1411.2Increasing support for the arts also requires that we instill an appreciation for the arts through education. Arts education can nurture the creative and artistic talents of District residents, and can foster a love for the arts that may later translate into financial support and patronage. 1411.2
