Advocacy

The Allied Arts Council takes the lead in advocating for the arts at the national state, and local levels.  The arts are essential to a thriving community.  The arts promote innovation, attract new populations and businesses to the area, and boost tourism and the hospitality industry. The arts have a 21.1 million dollar economic impact in Buchanan County!

The non-profit arts organizations also help provide financial support for the for-profit creative community.
