Arts Day 2007
Arts Day
Arts Day 2007 is planned for Wednesday, March 21, 2007. As always, arts advocacy is a year-round opportunity and obligation of citizens who have a public interest and value in the arts for their communities. But on March 21 arts advocates from around Ohio will converge on the capitol to demonstrate, through a united presence and voice, the need for and value of public funding for the arts in Ohio.
Arts Day includes an advocacy briefing, student performances, the Governor's Awards for the Arts & Arts Day Luncheon, legislative visits to every House and Senate office, and networking among Ohio's arts advocates. Arts Day serves as an event rich in education, information and communication.
In addition to Arts Day activities, students from 16 Ohio high schools will travel to Columbus to visit State Representatives and Senators. Throughout the morning they will visit offices in the Statehouse and Vern Riffe Center for Government and the Arts delivering their message of need for quality arts education programs in public schools. In addition to the student messages, legislators are provided with a packet of information including: a list of Ohio Arts Council grants by legislative district; arts education data and information; and an arts themed children's the book.
For more information about how you can advocate for the arts in your community contact Ohio Citizens for the Arts at 614/221-4064.
