WHEN: Thursday, March 12th at 2:00 pm
WHERE: Council Chambers at City Hall
1221 SW 4th Avenue
Portland, OR 97204
The Creative Advocacy Network, a new non-profit working towards a regional dedicated funding solution for the arts, is working hard to make sure that the Regional Arts and Culture Budget is preserved by Portland City Council and they have sent us this notice and request.
On March 12th at 2:00 RACC will be giving their “State of the Arts” presentation to Portland City Council and describing how last year’s investments in the arts benefited the City. This is the first step in the FY10 budget process. We need to have the Council Chambers full of arts supporters to send a strong message:
The Arts CAN, and must live here.
The Council will be facing major budget issues this spring so our objective is to pack the Council Chamber with arts supporters to show the Commissioners that the arts and cultural community have a strong voice. We all know how many people there are living in Portland that are in the arts and care passionately about the arts, but we need to insure that the Council understands this too. Please come out and show your support.
If you know you will be attending please RSVP to info@theartscan.org
