Give
the arts a voice! It's
an everyday activity.
National
Arts Advocacy Day
March 31, 2008,
Washington, D.C.
3 WAYS TO PARTICIPATE!
1. Be there!
Visit the Statehouse – put a face on the Arts – Meet and Greet your Legislators.
2. Attend the Arts Alliance’s Legislative Appreciation Luncheon at the Capital City Club – eat lunch with your Legislator – an opportunity to let them know about the important work you do and why it’s important to fund the arts in our state.
3. Participate virtually! Email your legislators in support of state funding for the arts and arts education.
Arts
Advocacy Handbook
When
asked what makes the biggest impression on Legislators
about the arts and especially arts organizations,
policymakers at the state and national levels tell
us the two following factors:
- Successful
programs in the arts and arts education
that reflect service to a diverse, broad-based constituency
within our classrooms and our communities.
- The
economic impact of the arts - how
your community is able to leverage federal, state,
local and private funds to serve constituents.
Therefore,
we must tell our stories in rural and urban communities
across our state and we must tell them over and over
again. Advocacy should be part of your mission.
