Americans for the Arts’ Randy Cohen and Jay Dick speak to representatives of Paducah, KY Chamber of Commerce during their Legislative Fly-In on the importance of the arts to communities and on the status of federal legislation.

That’s the character of Paducah,” said Randy Cohen with Americans for the Arts. “It’s not just going to the theater, but it’s what you do in your home, it’s how you connect in the community for a cultural experience that is unique to Paducah.”
