The Arts and artists are disappearing from San Francisco at an unprecedented rate. Soon everything that made the city great will be missing. No wealth can replace that; in fact, wealth should create a climate to help the Arts flourish.

A recent study by the National Endowment for the Arts found that cost and access are barriers for over one-third of Americans.
"Art is fundamental, unique to each of us … Even in difficult economic times - especially in difficult economic times - the arts are essential." — Maria Shriver, Award-Winning Journalist and Author
