Arts and Culture Summit
Last Saturday, my husband and I attended the first annual
Arts and Culture Summit in our community. The purpose of this event was to reignite our city with a passion for the arts, and to tour the Military Post Hospital which will be renovated into a Community Arts Center.

| Timothy D. Leavitt - Mayor of Vancouver, Washington |
It was very encouraging to see the mayor of our city- Tim Leavitt, there to open the summit with his remarks. In addition to hearing wonderful local and regional community leaders, we also had a time for small groups to brainstorm on how we can make a difference in our community for the arts. My husband and I are on two committees: The Military Post Hospital Project, and also The Arts for Social Change. We are very excited to be a part of this grass roots movement, with the hope of someday soon having a city that is known for its Arts and Culture!

Is your city a cultural community? If not, what changes would you like to see made? Does it even matter to you as a writer? Thanks so much!
