29 Investing in our Future

Studies repeatedly show that children and young adults who study the arts are much more successful in life than those who do not. The arts teach important life skills—creative and critical thinking, self-discipline and individual expressiveness. Last year over 10,000 students and community members participated in the Fine Arts Center’s performing and visual arts residencies, which allowed artists and students to connect in workshops, lectures and special demonstrations beyond public performances. This intellectual cultivation fuels learning, innovation and our creative economy. The Fine Arts Center knows what it means to invest in our youth and communities but we need you to invest in us. Donations from our Friends have a direct impact on the quality and quantity of our outreach. Please make your gift and help us continue this good work. You may give online at www.umass.edu/giving. Remember the power to change our world comes when we unite around a common passion.
