The arts are individual and collective expressions of a community. They reflect the life and times of its citizens and their culture. At once, the arts can tell the story of a community's past, reflect its present, and design a vision for its future.
While infused with softer qualities that bring to mind passion, talent and creativity, the arts and culture also play a vital role in a community’s overall economic growth. Specifically, they contribute to the quality of our lives. They add a rich dimension that makes a region attractive for the recruitment and retention of a diverse workforce.
As the Arts/Culture Strategic Alliance for Visioneering Wichita comes together, it will work toward the Quality of Life's vision to make Wichita and the surrounding area a healthy, safe community that has a vibrant recreation, entertainment, arts and cultural focus that embraces diversity and builds pride.
