* |
Help to educate local city leaders about the benefits (cultural, economic, etc.) the arts can provide in a community |
* |

* |
Training on fundraising withing the community |
* |
More information about grant funding |
* |
Our arts council needs paid staff to do more quality programing for our citizens. We would appreciate solutions to the challenge of finding Arts Council staff and paying them without City funds |
* |
The added exposure from NowPlayingUtah.com would probably be very good for us, but that also means added time and cost of getting the information turned in |
