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.
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. Through the Diverse Leadership Pipeline, we aim to connect individuals with the passion and skill sets needed to drive positive change in Central Florida's arts and cultural landscape.
