We have witnessed first-hand -- in our own children, how --
“
Art and culture bind people to place and to each other.
"
as Knight Foundation president Alberto Ibargüen professes.
As volunteers and donors to Miami's arts and cultural organizations -- we have also witnessed the successful impact Knight's investments have had over these 13 years:
- Local arts attendance has risen 27%;
- Employment in the arts has risen 21%; and
- A fifth of the 276 arts groups currently in our County have launched.
And so much more!
