The arts are essential to our communities both culturally and economically. However, 54% of the arts workforce of the United States has been out of work since March 2020, making collaboration among organizations vital.. The 2020-2021 season series Musicians on the Frontlines is presented as a partnership between Cuatro Puntos and the Autorino Center for the Arts at the University of Saint Joseph. Thank you for continuing to support the arts by attending our events!
