TIME TO ACT FOR THE ARTS
 Arts Advocacy Day is Under 2 Weeks Away

Now's the moment to rally for the arts you cherish. Artists, arts organizations, and patrons like yourself, we are calling on you to stand up for the arts on March 5th. It's crucial for legislators to grasp firsthand the profound influence the arts wield in your lives and communities. Register today to confirm your attendance and join your voice with others in the symphony of support.

Unable to make it on the 5th? Don't worry, you can still participate in our Virtual Rally on March 4th. Additionally, we'll make every effort to arrange a virtual meeting with your legislator between March 6th and 8th.

Calling All Arts Organizations!

Our friends at the Minnesota Arts & Culture Coalition (MACC), with help from the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, are interested in how the arts and culture sector is faring in the current economy. The two organizations are continuing to partner on the Federal Reserve Bank-MACC Arts & Culture Survey – now in its third iteration – to gain insights on recent business activity and other metrics from organizations to better understand how the sector is faring in the current environment. The survey should take approximately 5 minutes to complete, and all responses are anonymous. To maintain anonymity, please do not include any self-identifying information in any comments. Equally important, survey results will be shared with MACC members after the survey closes, helping everyone learn more about current conditions in the sector. (To learn more about MACC, visit https://mnartsandculture.org/ or email naomi.crocker@walkerart.org.)
