Economic and Social impact of Nonprofit Arts in the St Croix Valley - Astounding!

The final conclusions are astounding! The arts and culture sector is essential to the prosperity and vitality of the St. Croix Valley. Stephani is excited to share with you the results on how the Arts help create a vibrant St Croix Valley alive with culture, commerce and connection.
