Civic Engagement 101
Arts and cultural organization leaders know the importance of advocacy, but often fall short of mobilizing their organization’s staff, board and constituents to amplify their reach. With our Civic Engagement 101 workshop, we can educate your organization on the rules of engagement and empower individuals to amplify your reach. Attendees will learn:
- How to assess and voice your personal values related to arts and culture
- The difference between advocacy and lobbying and how the rules impact your organization
- Methods for connecting with elected officials, including social media, emails and meetings
- Legislative timelines and arts-related items currently on the docket
- The process of state arts funding appropriation and grant making
- How to communicate the importance of the arts with data and impact stories
