A Day of Action to Support the Arts - March 3rd, 2010
On Arts Advocacy Day 34 local arts leaders visited policy-makers to talk about what the District needs to do for arts to thrive locally. Team members advocated within the group agenda, and included their personal insights, and spoke to their personal issues. The teams included artists, artistic directors, executive directors, emerging artists, arts administrators, and development staff.
