“The Atlantic City Arts Foundation exists to elevate arts and the city — public arts, programming, support for artists, youth engagement, turn the attention of people who live in/visit AC towards the arts — and provide opportunities for artists in the city, county, to exhibit. It also attracts major artists to continue to exhibit here. I want to emphasize connecting to the many people who are active and involved in arts in Atlantic City and regionally, and to the people who are strong supporters of the arts. This is a great opportunity to hear directly from everyone to shape our path moving forward," shared Michael Atkins, the Atlantic City Arts Foundation's new executive director, in an interview with Selena Vazquez for the The Press of Atlantic City. https://lnkd.in/e5UMQDr9
