"I always attend Arts Advocacy Day because as a visual artist, arts administrator, and arts educator, the Legacy Amendment is one of the most influential elements that effects my career. With this support from our state I've been allowed to improve my own artistic skill set, my teaching ability, and my community involvement and outreach.
"I've seen first-hand the positive effect the Minnesota Legacy Amendment can have on individuals, our school systems, and our greater community as a whole. This creative state of Minnesota is constantly developing new ideas of connections between communities, cultures, and different forms of class and I feel arts advocacy is at the heart of all these positive engagements.
"Join me this Arts Advocacy Day to help in the fight to sustain arts and culture in Minnesota.
To make sure that we all have the opportunity to experience artistic participation that help create connections between us all. "
-Dana Sikkila, MCA Board Member and
Executive Director of the 410 Project Community Art Space, Mankato
