The creative sector shapes the identity of communities, innovates to solve problems, and generates work and workers that are deeply connected to the wider economy. Taking a seat at the table with your counterparts in the broader arts and civic sectors can ensure your orchestra is recognized for the value it creates and that it has a voice in local, state, and federal policies. Learn from fresh examples of how orchestras and partners are literally putting the arts on the map, centering live events as a community asset, and working to protect human creativity and performances as technology rapidly advances.
