Americans for the Arts has just released its 2015-2017 strategic plan with a key focus on building recognition for the transformative power of the arts in all of our lives and communities in new ways.

The organization is going deeper than ever at the local, state and national levels. The organization will be on the ground more, drawing more visibility to the value of the arts through media and strategic partners, and combining the organization’s strengths with community members to empower people to tell their stories about how the arts have made a difference in their lives.

“Americans for the Arts will partner with our members and stakeholders in every state and community to work toward building the leadership and the resources that will assure that all Americans have access in their daily lives to the transformative power of the arts” said Robert L. Lynch, president and CEO of Americans for the Arts.
