Speak Up for the Arts!

Arts Advocacy Day – February 14, 2012

Arts supporters from all around New York State will visit their legislators in Albany on Tuesday, February 14th to speak up for the arts on Arts Advocacy Day 2012.

PARKING: You can pre-register for parking for arts day online: https://nysaae.memberclicks.net/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=form_111371
DEADLINE: Thursday, February 9 at noon. Cost is $10 per spot. One form per spot.

Visual artists, authors, actors, musicians, dancers, and arts professionals of all kinds will join representatives from arts councils, museums, and cultural organizations to request strong support for NYSCA – the New York State Council on the Arts. This is an important opportunity to remind our state senators and representatives how valuable arts and cultural services are in communities from Long Island to Buffalo, and from Plattsburgh to Binghamton. The services and grants provided by NYSCA help to support large and small cultural institutions and arts programs across the state of New York. These organizations and activities create jobs, enhance tourism, and are an essential ingredient in small rural towns and large urban centers.

Join the chorus and let your voice be heard! Plan to be in Albany on February 14th to let your legislators know that you support state funding for the arts. Contact us for more information about legislative visits in Albany and at district offices around the state.
