March 8th, 2011 is ARTS ADVOCACY DAY! Each year, Minnesota Citizens for the Arts invites arts advocates to the State Capitol to talk about the arts, make new friends, and educate legislators about the importance of the arts to Minnesota. Through this big day, we show the strength of Minnesota’s arts community. Each year, there are representatives from small rural choirs and suburban community theaters, presenters and big organizations, museums and art centers of all sizes, painters, tenors, dancers, cellists, french horn players, and arts administrators joining together for this big day.  If you love GREAT Theatre and value the arts--- consider joining us for the 2001 Arts Advocacy Day! Our legislators need to be educated about the importance of the arts to our state every year. On Arts Advocacy Day, we are out in full force to say “Please support state arts funding!”
