Today, over 500 dedicated arts supporters from 44 states will come together in Washington, DC for the 29th annual Arts Advocacy Day: The National Arts Action Summit, the only national event that brings together a broad cross section of America’s cultural and civic organizations. These arts advocates represent a united effort to tell Capitol Hill how important the arts are to our communities, how much arts education means to our children, and how the arts improve our daily lives.
