Supporting the Arts

RE: Wichita: Supporting the ArtsTM

Visual, performing and musical arts play a crucial role in quality of life, community development, child education and attracting business and tourism to Kansas.

In the latter part of 2003, TCK Trust & Financial Advisors decided to increase our support of the arts community; thus Supporting the ArtsTM was born. In 2006, TCK plans to do everything we can to support art organizations in Wichita, Lawrence, Leavenworth and Arkansas City, while also becoming a conduit for area businesses, citizens, and our clients to become involved. Our new ArtStory publications will reveal the creative passions of artistic Kansans. Other businesses are joining in to support the arts community. Contact Martha Linsner if you are interested in helping. Supporting the Arts, won't you join us?

Sincerely,

Stephen A. English
