The Lehigh Valley Arts Council presents The Power of Story Project, an arts advocacy campaign that highlights personal stories from the community.

If you're someone who values the arts, the council want to hear from you. Your story, no matter how big or small, helps people connect to each other and provides evidence that the arts are essential. The arts council's library will be shared at the Whose Business is the Arts? forum on Sept. 8 to provide evidence of the impact the arts have on the community.To participate, go to
