StoryBank
We invite you to explore the role that artists play in laying the groundwork for shared health and prosperity. In the following stories, we introduce you to artist entrepreneurs, share stories about their enterprises and their community impact, and illustrate the impact we can have when we understand artists as essential ingredients in any productive investment.
Deposit your story!
We are collecting diverse and powerful stories of the impact of artists as investors in their communities. Submitting a case study is easy and once submitted, your story will be archived in our bank and serve as a resource for all who are making the case for culture as an agent of change. You can share your story by making a personal video.
And, you can write your story and share it here.
