Join arts advocates from across the state for the 2010 PA Arts Advocacy Rally at the State Capitol in Harrisburg. Last year our region was represented by more than 50 local arts advocates who participated in the rally and the legislative visits that followed. We hope to double that number this year.

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.
