County Outreach Heats Up This Summer
The Cultural Alliance is a regional organization, and we are always looking for ways to amplify the impact of arts and culture at the county level. Two events last month are great examples: on June 12 the Alliance convened a group of 25 Chester County cultural leaders for a happy-hour mixer at the beautiful grounds of the Galer Estate Vineyard & Winery in Kennett Square and on June 21, the Delaware County Arts Consortium (DCAC) held its own event on the equally beautiful grounds of the Scott Arboretum at Swarthmore College. If you would like to get involved in the Cultural Alliance’s county activities, contact Chief Strategy Officer Michael Norris at 215-399-3512 or michaeln@philaculture.org.
