The arts play an important role in the continuing revitalization of Vancouver.  The momentum of First Friday Artwalk, Clark County Recycled Arts Festival, Clark County Open Studios and numerous other community events and organizations bring a wide spectrum of creativity to our city. Opportunities exist for a city of our size to improve access to the arts through investing in assets like a performing arts center and an art museum. We have an award winning library. It would be amazing to have a complementary building housing a performing arts center located across a public plaza!
