Arts Advocacy Roundtable

The Arts Advocacy Roundtable is an initiative of ArtsGeorgia to encourage a conversation among leaders on the topic of arts advocacy.

The purpose of the annual and regional roundtables is to identify issues at the state and local level leading to the development of policy  to be reflected in institutions, practices and laws. Agreement on policy resulting from the roundtable meetings is to guide implementation which can benefit the arts in local communities and arts programs-at both the grassroots and the grasstop levels. Policy informs advocacy.

ArtsGeorgia convened the first annual roundtable meeting in 2018 with a sequel and regional meetings produced in 2019. Announcement of the 2020 Arts Advocacy Roundtable will be made on ArtsGeorgia’s social media and published in the eNewsletter. (Like, follow and subscribe for news and updates.)
