Using the Arts to Increase Student
Achievement, Expand Economic
Development, and Improve the Quality
of Life in Stark County
Presented by
Robb Hankins,
Arts in Stark
Robb
Hankins has spent the last 30 years
directing city, county and state
arts agencies in eight different
states. He has managed annual arts
campaigns, arts festivals, public
art projects, arts education
programs, and downtown arts
districts. Robb arrived in October
2005 to become the President and CEO
of ArtsinStark, the County Arts
Council.
The
organization called ArtsinStark
today was founded in 1968 to build
the Cultural Center for the Arts.
Today ArtsinStark gives out grants,
manages the Cultural Center, and
runs the Annual Arts Campaign. Its
operating budget of $2.6 million
comes 99% from the private sector.
These dollars are either earned or
raised from individuals, companies,
and foundations. In May 2010,
ArtsinStark's annual campaign raised
the highest amount in its 40 year
history - $1,455,000.
ArtsinStark's mission is to use the
arts to create smarter kids, new
jobs, and healthier communities.
