Recognize and support the significance of the arts
I think a major platform should be recognizing the significance of the arts in Omaha and thus support, even with simple words and action, the creativity going on around us here so that the people in the community can recognize it as well. As a leader its obviously important to be a role-model in some ways, and so by sharing their support publicly it would help out the arts (organizations, programs, independent artists and other creative ventures), and therefore the entire community as a result. Benefits of the arts are well known regarding educational, social and economic impacts that I won’t get into, but it all starts from leadership and awareness, which I think the Mayor should definitely play a strong role with.
