Investing in Art That Strengthens Civic Life

Civis supports artists and writers who give form to the unseen currents of civic life. Through image, word, and performance, they help us perceive one another more fully—revealing the ties between private experience and the common good. In nurturing such creative work, Civis affirms that art is both a reflection and an action: a way of imagining and thus shaping the interdependent future we share.
