Advocating for the Arts:

Empowering Communities Through Connection

TheERA promotes the value of the arts and aims to support their impact on our lives.

We operate in the Midwest and beyond, leading and serving diverse arts networks. We believe in connecting creators, leaders, communities, and businesses to highlight talent. Our goal is to ensure that everyone, regardless of background, can access and benefit from the arts. We empower artists to reach wider audiences through partnerships and collaborations. We advocate for equal access to the arts, breaking down barriers. Together, we can create an inclusive society that celebrates artistic expression. We invite individuals and organizations who share our vision to join us in recognizing and uplifting talent in our communities.

Let us come together to build a brighter future, where artistic experiences inspire, unite, and transform lives, and where the arts are recognized as an essential element of our society's fabric.
