  16. The Future...

  17. SOAR Revisited: • The universe of entry points to the arts is expansive • Old “classical” definitions of the arts were not inclusive enough • 3 of 4 Ohioans believe state tax dollars should be used to support the arts • Only 40% are aware state tax dollars do support the arts

  18. SOAR at the local level: • Going beyond who’s in the audience: do you know who isn’t? • Why aren’t they there? • How can you serve these constituents in a meaningful way if their voices are not heard?

  19. 2003 OAC Field Survey: • 86% agreed or strongly agreed that they value the OAC staff for their leadership and guidance • 70% agreed that the OAC should provide programs that give them a broader perspective on arts policy / current research • 73% strongly agreed that the OAC should be a leader in helping Ohio’s citizens understand the of the arts value

  20. Describe a personally meaningful arts experience: • What / when / who / where? • Describe a Sensory Memory / Metaphor. • What was the personal value to you? • What was the social or relational value? • What was the value to your community / city?
