Section 10-A1413. AC-4.2 PARTNERSHIPS

 

1413.1Given the limits of public funding, support for the arts has increasingly relied on partnerships with the corporate and institutional sectors. This shift has been accompanied by a growing interest in the arts by the business sector. Audiences for the arts are often the very markets that businesses are trying to reach. 1413.1

 

1413.2The trend toward partnerships has provded the arts with new resources for programs and operations. These include both funding and contributions of in-kind goods and services. The District can help support and expand these links through its economic development programs and through the activities of the Commission on Arts and Humanities. It can also help build partnerships with organizations like the  National Endowment for the Arts, local philanthropic organizations and foundations, and our colleges and universities.

 

1413.3Here in the District there is a history of civic volunteerism. This extends to cultural leadership through diverse non-profit arts, cultural organizations, and regional advocacy organizations such as the Cultural Alliance of Greater Washington. Stronger collaboration among these organizations and other city and federal agencies is needed to maximize our resources and broaden the reach of arts and culture. 1413.3
