Key findings, issues and opportunities from the DeKalb County cultural forum included: county support: There is an immediate need for greater access to resources to sustain the arts and cultural community. Groups called for the reinstatement of the DeKalb Council for the Arts as a funding body with sufficient funding to support the needs of cultural groups in DeKalb. sustaining resources: In addition to funding, DeKalb groups called for affordable cultural facilities with a flexible pricing policy based on operating budgets, affordable housing for artists, and affordable temporary housing for visiting cultural workers. economic development: The arts community fosters a competitive advantage for the region. Economic Development Directors that participated in the cultural forums recognized the value of a strong cultural sector in attracting and retaining high level businesses. workforce competitiveness: Children and young adults need access to the arts to engender creative thinking (a top criteria in hiring among 60 Fortune 500 CEO s in a recent IBM study) in order to prepare students to be competitive in the workforce. regional community: Arts patrons do not recognize geographic boundaries when attending events. Greater cooperation is needed at all levels (organizations, cities, counties, regional) to make existing cultural opportunities both more visible and more accessible. awareness: Media coverage for arts and culture programming in the region is disappearing. Creating awareness of programming is made more difficult by unaffordable advertising rate. Affordable solutions for marketing and media coverage are needed.
