Arizona Town Hall Explores Ways For State to Capitalize on Arts and Culture

The organization Arizona Town Hall gathers every few months around an important issue and creates a "forum for education and exploration of the topic and fosters leadership development." So it's exciting to see that the town hall held May 1-4 was titled Capitalizing on Arizona's Arts & Culture. And the featured speakers were Rocco Landesman, Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts; and Marian Godfrey, Senior Director, Culture Initiatives, Pew Charitable Trusts. An extensive background report was produced with the guidance of Betsy Fahlman, Professor of Art History, Herberger Institute, Tempe.
