The Arts That Unite
The arts reach across every boundary that words and institutions raise.
Music, story, and image cross the borders of language and culture to give shared form to shared experience. The arts have a singular power to dissolve estrangement, to make the unfamiliar human, and to bind communities together.
Through the Unifying Arts Fund and allied work, we support artists and arts initiatives that build social cohesion and make the experience of common belonging tangible.
“Music is the universal language of mankind.”Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
