Community Leader Testimonials
At some level, most of us realize the arts benefit our whole community – businesses, organizations and us as individuals. It’s time for us to give back.
It wouldn’t be the holidays without The Nutcracker, a Winston-Salem tradition that brings friends, families and children together.
We have an incredible number of arts and cultural organizations for a city of our size – especially for the younger crowd. My out-of-town friends can’t believe it. And it’s so easy to get involved.
As our wealth management business grows at Wachovia, we find that the arts are a deciding factor in our ability to recruit talented people to Winston-Salem. Too few people realize how much the arts impact our economy.
Our quality of life is defined by situations that bring families and friends together. That’s what the arts do in so many relaxed and informal ways.
There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that’s proven to challenge the minds, lift the spirits and soothe the soul like the arts. And Winston-Salem is the richest City of the Arts I know. We are blessed.
The arts are a strong unifying force in our diverse community. We come together regardless of our unique identities or personal circumstances. The arts remind us that first and foremost we are people.
