However, the impacts of arts and culture are holistically beneficial to the community-at-large, creating for the people of Summit County collective experiences that drive social connection and creates avenues for self-discovery as well and personal and community growth. Beyond that, access to arts and culture is what makes communities more livable and vibrant places.
