NEWS: Arts Action Alert

April 8, 2013 Dear Utah, Tomorrow, 500 arts advocates will go to Capitol Hill to ask for increased funding for the National Endowment for the Arts and arts education on behalf of nonprofit arts organizations and artists across the country. They need your help to strengthen the impact of their voice. Congress needs to know that these 500 people represent 500,000 more arts advocates back home. By taking two minutes to send a prewritten, customizable letter to your members of Congress from our E-Advocacy center, your voice will help send that powerful message. Then, join us for the rest of our Arts Advocacy Day activities: Send a Tweet to your friends: Tell Congress you support the arts! bit.ly/aad2013 #AAD2013 Watch Yo-Yo Ma perform and speak live from the Kennedy Center tonight at 6:30 p.m. EDT, by tuning into the Americans for the Arts YouTube channel. Invite your friends to join the watch party by posting on Facebook: I'm watching Yo-Yo Ma live from the Kennedy Center tonight at 6:30 p.m. EDT!
