National Arts Advocacy Day
Omni Shoreham Hotel
Washington, DC
April 4€“5, 2011

Next year, more than 100 new members of Congress will take office as a result of the elections earlier this month. As these newly elected congressional leaders focus on creating jobs and growing the economy, it is imperative that arts advocates help educate them to understand the profound role the arts play in federal policies such as spurring economic growth and job creation. Coordinated by Americans for the Arts, the 24th Annual National Arts Advocacy Day brings together arts, education, entertainment, and policy leaders from across the country to develop strong public policies and support for increased public funding for the arts and arts education.
