Arts & Culture
Arts and culture includes all forms of creative expression,
from individual to collective, from grassroots to professional and institutional.
These forms of expression frequently draw inspiration from the existing natural
and artificial landforms, built environments, belief systems and values which
shape who we are - our local, regional and national identities.
Schools that incorporate music, art, drama, dance, and creative writing into
the basic curriculum have found that teaching the arts has a significant effect
on overall success in school.
Guido and Elizabeth's foundation work in the area of arts and culture is combined
with their vision to improve education. Programs include music, libraries, museums
and a zoo; all enhancing the quality of life in their communities.
