WHY DO THE ARTS MATTER?
Ever wonder what members of the Dona Ana Arts Council think about art? While not all of us are artists (although we can boast that many of us are), we all share a steadfast appreciation and understanding that the arts are essential to developing our local community and culture. Art connects us, inspires us, and gives our children better tools to learn and change the world around us.
