MN Lawmakers are Back—Make Sure the Arts Have a Voice!

Big news from the Capitol! Late last night, the Minnesota House of Representatives reached a power-sharing agreement, paving the way for lawmakers to get back to work. With Rep. Lisa Demuth set to serve as Speaker until 2026, the political landscape is shifting—but what does this mean for the arts? And more importantly, how can YOU take action to ensure the arts remain a priority?

Minnesota Citizens for the Arts (MCA) is here to help. Join one (or all!) of our upcoming webinars to sharpen your advocacy skills, craft a compelling message, and make an impact where it matters most.
