Cultural Organizations Summit: Advocating for the Arts
Wednesday, June 21 from noon to 1:30 p.m.
Roots Music Project, 4747 Pearl Suite V3A, Boulder, CO 80301
Advocating for the arts at the local and state level is essential to ensure that funding and policies are in place to support artists and arts organizations. Join us to welcome Meredith Badler, Deputy Director at the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts (CBCA), and Megan Wagner, Lobbyist at Brandeberry McKenna Public Affairs, to discuss the importance of building broad coalitions of support with state-wide arts advocates and key stakeholders. We will also be joined by Bob Yates from Boulder’s City Council to learn more about engaging with local leadership. Free and open to the public; arts organizations are asked to send two or more representatives from staff and board. Light refreshments will be provided. To RSVP email rsvp@bouldercolorado.gov.
