During the Great Recession, arts and cultural institutions across the country suffered — including museums, theaters and other performing arts. In the years since, some have fared better than others.

Harry Papp has had a bird's-eye view of a lot of that. He’s managing partner at L. Roy Papp and Associates, a Phoenix-based financial advising firm, and has served on the boards of a number of Valley cultural and arts organizations.

Papp's family is also well-known for supporting those institutions.
