2024 National Arts Advocacy Zoom-In Week
Calling all Michigan
Arts + Creative Advocates
May 13-15, 2024
What would you say to your Members of Congress (or their arts specialist) if you had 30 minutes to talk to them? Now is your chance. It is surprising how easy it is to meet with members to let them know your concerns and interests so, please, join us!
The 2024 National Arts Advocacy Zoom-In Week (NAAZ) is an opportunity for you to be an advocate from the comfort of your home or office alongside other creative advocates from your state. The Arts Advocacy Zoom-In Week allows arts + creative advocates to participate in virtual meetings with congressional offices representing your district to advocate for public policy and investment for the arts + creative industries. Maybe your interest is artists and creatives, businesses or organizations funding for the National Endowments, arts + creative education, the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities or other important topics specific to you.
