CNY Arts Covenant wants people to participate in area's rich arts scene.
Tuesday, February 17, 2009 By Greg Munno Staff writer
A thriving arts community needs more than just artists. It needs a
community of people who enthusiastically support the arts, with their attendance
at concerts, their patronage of galleries and their appreciation of the contributions
artists make to the quality of life of a region.
That idea is the driving force behind the CNY Arts Covenant, an emerging
movement in Central New York to create a fun, interactive way for people to
express their support for the arts.
Organizers are encouraging people to make four voluntary commitments to the arts each year.
The commitments could range from buying art as a present, to volunteering for an arts organization, to attending an opening.
The group of organizers behind the effort wanted to reach into the community early in the process and invite the public to help define and design the effort.
