Philanthropy and the Arts | How Giving To and Through the Arts Can Transform Communities
Description:
What role has philanthropic investment in the arts played in Miami’s economic and cultural growth over the past decades—and why is it so important for building community? Join Jorge Pérez, Chairman and CEO of The Related Group, and Dennis Scholl, President and CEO of the ArtCenter/South Florida and former VP/Arts of the Knight Foundation, in conversation about their roles in this transformation. Claire Costello, US Trust Philanthropic Specialist, moderates. The Smithsonian’s first regional Philanthropy Initiative program includes opening and closing remarks by Amanda B. Moniz, the National Museum of American History’s David M. Rubenstein Curator of Philanthropy, who explains the conversation’s origin in Alberto Ibargüen’s talk, “Arts Bind People to Place and Each Other,” http://bit.ly/2JLdsGx, in the Initiative’s 2018 POWER OF GIVING program. The program was co-hosted with U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management, at the Pérez Art Museum Miami on October 22, 2018. THE POWER OF GIVING: PHILANTHROPY’S IMPACT ON AMERICAN LIFE, is part of the National Museum of American History’s Philanthropy Initiative.
