Abstract:
A Triangle area art expert discusses the difficulties facing collaboration between the regions actors, musicians, artists, and theater groups. Due to congested traffic and travel times, the area’s art scenes are split between cities. This split discourages collaboration and prevents the scene from growing. This also prevents citizens from attending events and keeps them in their local communities. This prevents people from seeing all of the art that the area has to offer.
