Rosy Events: Event Planning

29 May Rosy Events: Event Planning

Northwest Arts Connection: Why do you want to support local cultural development?

Rosy Events: There has long been a rumor that former Mayor Richard M. Daley used to say, “Arts and culture are as important a city service as water.” Hearing it for the first time was a light-bulb moment for me as a young City worker tasked with creating and producing free cultural programming.

Throughout my fifteen years of events experience, I’ve learned that incorporating arts and culture is an often-overlooked element of economic development. However, when you treat the arts as an essential part of an area’s development you create a place where people want to live, work, and socialize. Making quality art and cultural events accessible leads to a thriving community, increased spending, and ultimately stronger businesses. Without it, communities dry up. Much like a plant left unwatered.

That’s why, when I left my job as a public servant to open my own business, I chose to donate my time and services to community organizations dedicated to improving the life of our neighbors through the arts. That’s why I buy tickets to events and fundraisers as often as possible. And that’s why I support local artists and business. I hope you will join me, whether it be in my community or your own.
