About ACT
ACT(Artists Changing Tomorrow), is a program developed to sustain and maintain the arts: visual, literary and performing. This program's goal is to provide art education, school and community art programs and performances, and overall arts outreach. The program is supported by artists and benefactors who are aware of the contribution that the arts make to society and who selflessly seek to suuport the creative procces.
An artist’s talent and impact reaches far beyond the covers of a book, the borders of a frame, or even the museum wall. The artist’s talent translates into a legacy. That legacy uplifts, inspires and additionally, as in the case of ACT, helps sustain ongoing art education. Children will be forever influenced for the good by the art they see and the educational programming they receive that is funded by ACT.
Please enjoy the images of ACT 2012. Some may strike a smile, jog a memory or initiate a dream. And yes, they connect to very special futures as well, those of our youth. Support Arts for Rural Texas as it encourages artists and patrons alike to support the arts and art education of our young people. We are connected to the future by the youth of the present. Invest in this future by donations, memberships, gifts to the ARTS Endowment fund --this is a gift that truly does continue to give. This is how we can all artfully help change tomorrow. This is ACT for ARTS.
