From brad at theatrebayarea.org Tue Jan 23 17:50:25 2007 From: brad at theatrebayarea.org (Brad Erickson) Date: Tue Jan 23 17:51:16 2007 Subject: [Artsforum-sf] What's Up in Sacramento? A Legislative Update Message-ID: <00f601c73f5a$05052be0$6601a8c0@fileserver.theatrebayarea.com> Dear Arts Forum Supporters Arts Forum invites you to join us for a discussion of statewide issues impacting the arts and our communities. Of all the states, California boasts the largest population while, on a per capita basis, spending far less on the arts-a little more than a nickel per person. Decisions made in Sacramento affect artists and arts organizations in ways that go far beyond monetary support, or the lack of it. Serious proposals for universal access to health care are being put forward from both sides of the aisle. A slew of lesser known, but potentially significant, bills are being formulated now and could impact artists, arts organizations, and our communities in a variety of ways. What's up at the state Capitol? How would new bills affect your work as an artist? What would it take to develop an arts policy for California? What can you do? Arts Forum SF is pleased to announce a Legislative Update, generously hosted by the San Francisco Foundation, and facilitated by California Arts Advocates (www.californiaartsadvocates.org ). Presenters include veteran arts lobbyist Kathy Lynch, and California Arts Advocates President and Legislative Liaison Lisa Caretto. A period of questions and answers will follow. Similar Legislative Updates have been convened in Los Angeles, San Diego and Fresno. Join our colleagues around California in a growing effort to re-energize advocacy for the arts in our state. When: Thursday, February 8 10:00-Noon Where: San Francisco Foundation 225 Bush Street, Suite 500 San Francisco, CA 94104 RSVP: Space is limited. Please RSVP by February 6, via email, to Brad Erickson at Theatre Bay Area: brad@theatrebayarea.org.
