ARTS ADVOCACY DAY REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS TODAY!
Arts Advocacy Day is this Thursday, March 27, and you don't want to miss out. Hundreds of arts
advocates will be taking over the Historical Society Building and State Capitol
in St. Paul for a rally and then meetings with legislators to talk about the
impact of the arts on our lives and communities. Our message of the day is
"thanks!"
In the past several years arts advocates and supportive legislators had to fight off legislative suggestions that the Arts & Culture Fund be used to build a stadium or be redirected to benefit pet projects in just one district. Legislators and advocates have been successful in making sure the state follows the constitutional language of the Legacy Amendment.
"We should all be thanking legislators for doing the right thing," said Sheila Smith, MCA's Executive Director.
It's the best arts networking event of the year! You'll be meeting cool arts people from every corner of Minnesota. Don't miss out!

ARTS ADVOCACY DAY SCHEDULE:
It's the biggest arts networking day of the year! MCA invites you to join your fellow arts advocates at the Minnesota History Center and State Capitol to talk about the arts, make new friends, and educate our legislators. Together we will speak about the impact that arts funding has had on our lives and our communities. Meet great arts people from all over the state, and make a difference with your friends and neighbors.
You and your team will be led by an experienced advocate who has participated in past Arts Advocacy Days and knows what to do. Following a brief rally, you and your team will visit a series of legislators over the morning, giving you plenty of time to get to know your teammates and the issues you are discussing.
