Make
a Creative Case for Arts and Culture Funding.

the battle to keep funding for arts and culture in the
FY11 Pennsylvania state budget it is important that we
find creative ways to tell our stories and make our arguments.
See some
examples of the creative messaging used in last year's
advocacy. |

Circulate
this message as widely as possible. Send this call
to action to your staff and board members, your organization's
members, ticket buyers, email lists and any other outlets
that you can think of. Harrisburg needs to hear from more
than just the arts and cultural organizations. |
