Humanities and Fine Arts
Creativity Changes the World

In the arts and humanities, we explore how individuals and societies make sense of the world and communicate across languages and cultures. Some of us create new expressive forms that capture our experience. Others are code-breakers, trying to understand the messages embodied in literature, art, music, history, philosophy, and religion. And still others call upon ethics, history, and imagination to solve pressing problems in law, health, economy, and governance.

Please consider giving to the arts and humanities today on Give Day! Our world needs engaged and informed citizens who understand the languages, traditions, values, and histories of our diverse communities and cultures.
