ArtsConnect's Value To Springfield Township
As a non-profit organization, we run quality events, classes and volunteer projects as a way to connect our community. With a focus on the arts, we serve to provide a higher quality of life through social connectedness, a value that inherently increases quality of life.
• The arts have beneficial impact on the economy. Our dream is to build an new Arts and Events Center in a part of Springfield Township that would be beneficial to surrounding businesses and in a space that provides inspiration for artists. The facility would ideally have artist studios, a theater, event space for weddings, classroom space, public wood shop, gallery space and a culinary kitchen for cooking classes or emerging businesses. The project would only be possible with partners - a school, restaurant, retail or other art organizations.
• The arts improve psychological well-being. Seniors are now finding daily activity in our current art center - teens are learning drawing skills and adults are getting that "me time" they need after long hours at work and fulfilling the countless lists of home responsibilities.
• The arts provide a catalyst for the creation of social capital and the attainment of important community goals. The Township is working on their neighborhood master plan, gathering feedback from residents. Its becoming more and more apparent that there is a need for a diversified tax base, a higher quality of life and improvements to our infrastructure. So what does that have to do with the arts? Read the first bullet point. We think we can be a part of the solution!
