The Arts Council would also like to invite you to be a part of the #ArtsMatterInBV campaign! With all that is happening in the world, the arts are making a difference in many ways. As people are staying home, we see them creating amazing things on social media, from performing live concerts to reading books online. Let’s keep this movement in mind as we move forward! When we get on the other side of this crisis, the Arts are what’s going to help our communities thrive and heal. As you create a post let’s all come together and show the Brazos Valley that the arts matter by using the hashtag #ArtsMatterInBV and tagging The Arts Council of Brazos Valley in your post. Show us how the arts are having an impact on your day-to-day life during this unprecedented time. If you’re an organization, show us how you’re using the arts on your social media. And if you haven’t already, please fill out this Google Form and tell us why YOU think the arts matter in the Brazos Valley. Each response will help obtain funding for The Arts Council. We can’t wait to see your #ArtsMatterInBV posts!
