07.25.2008
Ben Collins of The Bliss Agency has served on the Arts Alliance Mountain Empire board of directors for three years. For the 2008-2009 year, he has been elected to serve as Treasurer and as such is now a member of the Executive Committee. The organization has a strong history of promoting and nurturing the arts in our area. Formed in 2003, AAME has produced a comprehensive catalog of arts and cultural information in our area, continuously published the award winning A! Magazine for the Arts, and brought sculpture to Bristol's downtown through the Art in Public Places project.
"It's a truly vibrant organization right now. The board meets once a month, and exciting things are happening. People in our community are beginning to realize how art can truly benefit us in numerous ways, especially economically." — Ben Collins
