For this special holiday episode we’re bringing back our fabulous development director, Katie Roche, to talk about The Arts and You, a new community-wide survey that will be made public in December 2021. The survey is a component of the arts access initiative that’s been created under the Strengthen Grow Evolve campaign. Katie’s also gonna fill us in on the new Englert membership initiative, Fellowship for the Future.

The episode features music by Gossip Cult, Alex Body, and “Bang Bang” by TheOnlyIon for our Song of the Week.

Thank you to Martin Construction for sponsoring this episode.
