The Arts

The Foundation’s focus on the arts stems from the belief that the arts have the unique ability to transform lives. Our target audience in this very broad category spans from young children to adults who have committed their life’s work to the arts.

Given the extreme depth and breadth of possibilities, we support three areas within the arts.

Dream a World

Arts Education

Early experience in the arts can inform a child’s thinking and ability to be creative later in life.

The Jazz Bakery

Focus on Jazz

Jazz is a living art form that should be nurtured and supported for the benefit of future generations.
