We’re four days away from Arts Advocacy Day, and today is the last day to pre-register.

Momentum is building, meetings are being finalized, and advocates from every corner of Minnesota are preparing to show up at the Minnesota State Capitol with one clear message: the arts matter.

Pre-registering today ensures you’ll receive important day-of details, messaging, and walk into the Capitol prepared and confident. If you’ve been meaning to sign up, don’t wait, this is your moment.

On Tuesday, March 3rd, we will:
• Rally together in the Capitol Rotunda
• Meet face-to-face with legislators
• Share real stories about how the arts power our workforce and local economies
• Advocate for strong public investment in Minnesota’s creative community

When artists, educators, administrators, business leaders, students, and community members stand together, it makes an impact. Lawmakers notice. Conversations shift. Priorities change.

Four days from now, those conversations begin.

Make sure you’re in the room.
