Key Words
Arts - Education

The promotion of art, per se, is not a charitable purpose. However, the courts have held that education in the arts, either in the form of the training of individuals or the education of the public through the raising of its aesthetic tastes by the direct exhibition/presentation of artistic works, is a charitable purpose.
