Arts Across The Heartland

Art is thriving throughout every state of our great country.

Real people, real stories from the heartland and the power of art.

COVID-19 has taken a toll on the arts. Alec Baldwin, Pedro Pascal, and Murdoch Mystery’s Yannick Blesson know it’s important for us to continue our fight to help all arts workers across the United States.
