Since 1989, United Arts has been on a mission to enrich communities by investing in arts, science and history.
Funding is just one piece of the puzzle. To truly make art thrive, United Arts has built programs that help bring the arts to everyone — programs that bolster curriculums, champion diversity, and advocate to local governments.
Our efforts ensure that everyone can have a voice in shaping Central Florida's arts and culture community.
Thank you to the Duke Energy Foundation and Greenburg Traurig for their support.
In our pursuit of a vibrant and inclusive arts and cultural sector, United Arts has developed a program to address board vacancies and succession within local nonprofit organizations.
