Resolved galaxies in the local Universe are fundamentally connected to galaxies observed at all cosmic epochs. The IMF, extinction law, distance ladder, and stellar evolution are all anchored in observations of resolved stars in the nearby Universe. In this talk, I highlight new links between resolved galaxies and those in the higher redshift Universe, and discuss how future observations of resolved stars are essential for a complete and accurate census of galaxy evolution across cosmic time.
