~ The Arts Mean Business ~

What is the Flagstaff Arts & Business Alliance?

With members that include representatives of the business, government, arts, tourism, non-profit, and education communities of Flagstaff, FABA is working to build a healthier Flagstaff.

Our purpose: to build a stronger Flagstaff economically, socially, culturally, visually and spiritually through arts and culture.

FABA is currently working on two major initiatives:

• An Arts Economic Impact Study for the Flagstaff area. This study will give Flagstaff the tools it needs to advocate for support of the arts and raise Flagstaff's profile as a unique arts community.

• A Major Festival. We are working with community leaders and organizations to develop a major summer festival that highlights Flagstaff's best, brings in major artists, and builds Flagstaff's arts profile.
