If we believe that our children deserve a bright future, then we must invest in our schools, recreation, and the arts.

As a father, I want my child to be exposed to all types of artistic expression and the diverse cultures that are the backbone of Atlanta.

Investing in the arts makes our city a more interesting, beautiful place to live. It’s a way to celebrate our unique culture and history.

But the arts are also an economic driver and a way to boost tourism. And it provides rich educational opportunities for Atlanta’s young people, like my daughter.
