Work for Art launches 2010-11 campaign...

>> Press Release

The arts benefit everyone. The arts are more than singing, dancing, painting, sculpting and writing. A community rich with arts and culture attracts families, companies, and tourists, who in turn create more energy and financial support for schools and vital services. The arts belong to everyone and need everyone's support to thrive.

Work for Art raises money primarily through employee charitable campaigns at workplaces in Oregon and SW Washington. Donations support more than 80 vital arts and culture organizations every year—encompassing dance, visual arts, music, literary arts, media arts, theater, cultural arts, and arts education. You can be confident your dollars are supporting well-run groups that have gone through a rigorous grant application process at the Regional Arts & Culture Council. All nonprofit arts organizations based in Clackamas, Multnomah, or Washington County are eligible to apply.
