Advocating for the arts at the local and state level is essential to ensure that funding and policies are in place to support artists and arts organizations. Join us to welcome Meredith Badler, deputy director at the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts (CBCA), and Courtney Law, Director of Communications and Partnership at MCA Denver and member of CBCA’s Policy Committee, to discuss the importance of building broad coalitions of support with state-wide arts advocates and key stakeholders. We will also be joined by Bob Yates from Boulder’s City Council to learn more about engaging with local leadership. Moderated by Boulder Arts Commissioner Caroline Kert. Free and open to the public, arts organizations are asked to send two or more representatives from staff and board. Light refreshments will be provided. To RSVP, email rsvp@bouldercolorado.gov. Hosted by the City of Boulder Office of Arts and Culture.
