🎨 Transforming communities through creativity! 🏘️ Yesterday, our President and CEO, Michele Russo, joined a fantastic lineup of speakers (L-R)—Michael Atkins (Atlantic City Arts Foundation), Aly Maier Lokuta (New Jersey Performing Arts Center), Gina Hulings (Hudson County Office of Cultural and Heritage Affairs), and moderated by Mary Brad Cohen (East Brunswick)—at the 110th Annual NJ League of Municipalities for a dynamic Arts & Community Development Panel hosted by our partners at ArtsPrideNJ (@jerseyarts). This discussion highlighted the strategic role the arts play in advancing community development initiatives across health, economic development, tourism, and education. It was a great discussion full of sharing valuable insights and actionable ideas for municipal leaders seeking new tools to foster resident engagement and civic pride! #NJLeagueOfMunicipalities #ArtsAdvocacy #EconomicDevelopment #MunicipalLeadership
