Creativity at the Core of Business

"Creativity and the arts are core to who we are as a company. And they're as vital to our society as they are to our business."

Richard D. Parsons, Chairman & CEO, Time Warner, Inc.


The Arts Contribute to Quality of Life & Economic Development


"Very few things actually move people. Making fine art a priority for the Heldrich Hotel is an opportunity to make a moving, memorable experience. This is not a philanthroic effort -- it's an economic initiative.

Christopher Paladino, President, New Brunswick Development Corporation (DEVCO)
