ILA <br /> 'M'l 1 <br /> The Tukwila Arts Commission engages our citizens in high quality arts and cultural experiences <br /> here in our city. We recognize that the arts enhance our quality of life and sense of place and <br /> provide opportunities for residents to gather together to share their various cultural traditions <br /> with each other to deepen our connection to our place and to our neighbors. <br /> King County's Access for All will increase the resources available to local non-profit arts, <br /> heritage and science organizations to serve the public, expand their programs and reach out to <br /> underserved communities in Tukwila and throughout King County. <br /> We recognize that public sector resources are stretched to address societal issues such as <br /> homelessness, food scarcity, absenteeism and drop-out rates in public schools, or drug <br /> dependency. We also fervently believe that arts and culture are a deterrent to many of the ills <br /> that require comprehensive public solutions. If we invest in the positive, we can minimize or <br /> reduce the negative. <br /> In this spirit, the Tukwila Arts Commission formally endorses Access for All and encourages the <br /> King County Executive and Council to give the public the opportunity to voice its support for <br /> this potentially transformative program and help us demonstrate the power of creativity and <br /> imagination to shape a more tolerant and inclusive society. <br /> Thank you! <br /> Chair: Trisha Gilmore Vice Chair: Cynthia Chesak <br /> Brian Kennedy Sheila Coppola Steve Mullet Helen Enguerra Alex Villella Daniel Humkey <br /> 6 <br />
