The arts and culture are vitally important to us in Newport County – they attract tourists, they enliven our children’s education, they give us hope when everything seems dark and dreary. Let’s invest in our cultural community. Don’t forget to vote, and Vote YES on 6!
“Art helps attract people and businesses to be in our state, and supports hundreds of good-paying, steady jobs for Rhode Islanders. Coming out of COVID especially, these venues and this infrastructure supports restaurants and parking garages and hotels and all sorts of supporting services that make for a very vibrant community.”
Tom Parrish, executive director of Trinity Repertory Company, joined Bill Bartholomew to discuss the many benefits of voting YES on Question 6.
Rhode Island has a vibrant history and culture of fine arts, which should be kept and celebrated.
