The Case for the Arts

January 13, 2009 - I was going to blog about what's going on at OV today but I simply had to disseminate this post (click here to read it) from the development goddess Penelope Burk. It's moving and should remind all of us in the arts why we do what we do and the essential role we play in the lives of our patrons. Amazing stuff. Thanks, Penelope.

And after reading, please know that the season to "show your love" has not come to an end. You can still donate online (or via the phone or via mail) and if you aren't in a position to send money, please consider other ways in which you can help OV with time, talent, or useful items (office supplies are always welcome). Have you hugged your opera company today?

I wish you all a wonderful 2009 filled with all the things that make life worth living.
