From a young age, the arts enable us to see what we are and to imagine what we can become – they foster the spark of possibility. $299.9M Amount Generated in the City of Atlanta by the NON-PROFIT ARTS AND CULTURE INDUSTRY ACCORDING TO A NATIONAL STUDY CONDUCTED BY THE AMERICANS FOR ARTS IN 2010. – Arts & Economic Impact Study IV 72% of business leaders say creativity is the #1 skill they seek when hiring GOVERNING BOARD Board of trustees 2014-2015 Doug J.

Hepner President & CEO, Woodruff Arts Center THE HEART OF DISCOVERY & ENGAGEMENT In the midst of Atlanta’s vibrant arts scene, the Woodruff Arts Center serves as a captivating destination point for the more than 1.5 million patrons who visit every year. People come to our campus in search of family enrichment, enlightenment, and social engagement. Here, they connect with the arts and to one another. woodruff arts center: Report on Philanthropy 2 INDIVIDUAL connections SHARED EXPERIENCES The arts enlighten our minds and awaken our senses; they kindle imagination and fulfill a fundamental desire within our souls. When we share in the arts, we empower one another and enrich our lives. The Woodruff Arts Center and our four arts partners provide diverse opportunities for individuals of all ages to engage with the arts directly and personally. However one chooses to participate, the impact created by a singular experience holds the possibility to initiate influential dialogue, create new relationships, and sometimes, even shift a life’s direction. 3 woodruff arts center: Report on Philanthropy 100 POINTS STUDENTS WHO TAKE FOUR YEARS OF ARTS and MUSIC CLASSES WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL ON AVERAGE SCORE ABOUT ONE HUNDRED POINTS BETTER ON THE SAT THAN STUDENTS WHO TOOK ONE-HALF YEAR OR LESS.
