Join arts advocates from across the state for the 2010 PA Arts Advocacy Rally at the State Capitol in Harrisburg.

For the second year in a row the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council is chartering a bus to the rally. The bus will depart Pittsburgh at approximately 6:00 a.m. and will return that same afternoon. The departure point has yet to be determined. Seats on the charter must be reserved in advance. The cost is $30 dollars.
