D. Oscar Groomes: It Only Works by Philanthropy
Philanthropist, metallurgical engineer, and physicist D. Oscar Groomes discusses the vital role of philanthropy in the arts and how institutions like the Gantt are not historically beneficiaries of sustained, long-term giving. He stresses the importance of those who can “participate” do so that the futures of cultural institutions remain bright. Groomes and his wife Heide are major donors whose sustained support makes the Gantt’s EnVision Me program and the digital arts studio, MODA, possible.
