Akron Community Foundation

We’re incredibly grateful for the panelists and attendees of last Thursday’s Community Issues Session, which focused on arts and culture and its significant financial benefits to the community. Our panel members discussed ways to empower artists, along with better connecting fundholders to both artists and arts programs. Thank you to Harvey Nelson, Kimberly Beckett, Brian Lamoda‑Genet, Rita Aggarwal and Natalie Grieshammer‑Patrick for your valuable insight on the impact of the arts and artists in our community. Special thanks to Akron Art Museum for providing an ideal venue for this topic. If you missed the event, you can find this and other Community Issues Sessions on our YouTube channel.
