Only eleven days remain in the 2012 Fund for the Arts Campaign. With $550,000 to go until we reach the goal, we can’t waste a single moment! This week I headed over to JeffBoat on the sunny side of Louisville to visit with our art loving, barge building friends. They get how important arts education is to their community. They understand the lasting effect that arts in the classroom has on their children because they have seen first hand how it can change a child’s life.
