Dates: April 12–13, 2010. Americans for the Arts invites you to the 23rd Annual National Arts Advocacy Day, which brings together arts, education, entertainment, and policy leaders to develop strong support for increased public funding for the arts. Especially in these times of economic uncertainty, it is even more crucial to make our case that the arts are an important engine for economic growth. This is why we would like to invite you to join hundreds of grassroots advocates from across the country in legislative training sessions, the Congressional Arts Kick Off on Capitol Hill, the Nancy Hanks Lecture on Arts and Public Policy at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and meetings with your members of Congress on important arts-related issues. Your involvement does make an impact, so register now!
