This is a special episode brought to you by Arlington Economic Development in Arlington, Virginia. Since 1996, when Arlington Cultural Affairs ‘Arts Incubator’ was the first government arts program to win an Innovations in American Government Award from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government and the Ford Foundation, support for arts organizations set the path for a thriving cultural sector. Today we’re going to talk about the role of cultural affairs and the arts in a thriving community, and to help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome Michelle IsabelleStark Director, O County Cultural Affairs Division.
