Arlington Tomorrow Foundation ATF 2016 - 10 year anniversary | Page 5

Delivering Dreams C u lt u re In Arlington’s Entertainment District, people walk, bike and jog along a peaceful trail near a growing collection of public art – from the sculpture of faceless crowds near Globe Life Park to the towering Arc7 sculpture across from AT&T Stadium. Downtown, youth and adult actors and crew members spend countless hours each month practicing their lines, dancing, singing and otherwise preparing for their next live performance at Theatre Arlington. And each 4 th of July and Christmas, Arlington families know to arrive early for the best seats to enjoy brightly decorated floats, hometown marching bands, great music and fun during the annual holiday parades. The Arlington Tomorrow Foundation believes investing in the arts and culture as well as in community events and projects, such as the annual Christkindl Market, the Levitt Pavilion and the Dream sculpture in downtown, helps to make the city a more livable, enjoyable place. The Arlington Tomorrow Foundation has long recognized how literacy opens doors of opportunity. We are delighted to have contributed more than $4 million as the lead donor to help make the dream of the City’s 21 st Century library a reality.
