Arts & Music Impact Team
Recognizing and valuing women’s contributions in arts and music is crucial. It is critical to bring greater visibility to the achievements of women artists across Utah by promoting, exhibiting, acquiring, preserving, and researching their art forms. As part of the “Culture” element on the rim of the BWF Wheel of Change, the Arts & Music Impact Team works with the leaders or a representative of each spoke to expand the impact of their efforts.
