Please, take a look at all who are around you in business ... and the arts. You are amongst a powerful group of business leaders .... and art enthusiasts, art curious and inspiration seekers.

How do we know you are optimists? Because you are in business, especially “today,” and in a place of creativity and inspiration. That makes you a courageous optimist. we are honored to be counted in with you.

We know that, like us, you are taking care of business now, so that your plans for success are tomorrow’s reality. You value creativity in your own business; therefore you must value the artists to inspire others to also be courageous optimists.

Business people are not unlike artists, in that you have to believe in “possibilities” … to open a business, do business and, most importantly - stay in business.

By definition, business people "take care of business." Both business people and artists "make it happen" by proactively sustaining our inspiration. We applaud you and we applaud our artists.

Somehow, you both know your success is dependent on our collective inspiration for the future. As wise business leaders you personally invest in and support the arts now, because the arts inspire our collective belief in possibilities.

Thank you for being creative thinkers, courageous business leaders and knowing there is no such thing as too much art when investing in our future.

Keeping the Frank Bette Center for the Arts open is our first priority. We encourage you to join us and make it yours too. Frank Bette Center for the Arts is financially stretched to breaking and exists primarily at your generosity. All donations of any amount are urgently needed and greatly appreciated. Every dollar ensures we can continue to bring quality art experiences to everyone.

If you like what Frank Bette Center for the Arts is doing for your business, your community, your neighbors, friends and family, and I hope for you too.... please support us with your financial contribution.

We thank you all … business and arts leaders.

Unleash your creativity!
