TakePartInArt

ArtsFund believes everyone should take part in art. To expand arts participation ArtsFund presents www.TakePartInArt.org as the primary point of connection between cultural activity and this region’s residents and visitors. Some 200 King and Pierce County nonprofit arts organizations enter their event information into the site. It’s a one-stop shop for arts events. In addition to event information, it lists special discount offers by arts groups.

TakePartInArt.org was initially developed by the all-volunteer Arts Coalition. ArtsFund assumed ownership of the site to provide it a permanent home and to develop the resources to develop the site further.

As technology development has been leaping forward since the initial design of the TakePartInArt.org website, ArtsFund is partnering with Project Audience, a coalition of arts support institutions around the country, to design an open-source website that can be used by communities nationwide to serve as their central place to explore, debate and engage in the arts. The coalition is about to mount a test project in Los Angeles. For more information please go to www.projectaudience.org or contact Virginia Daugherty at 206.788.3042 or virginiad@artsfund.org.
