NYS ARTS had it's first in a series
of Regional TALK BACK's on June 21.
TALK BACK is our latest grass roots
advocacy effort, designed to create conversation in your region.. and with the
help of our friends at the Dutchess County Arts Council, Hudson Opera
House and partners Orange County Arts Council and Putnam Arts Council,
we feel is was a great success.
The lively discussions
about advocacy during the half-day conference are designed to give members of
the Hudson Valley arts community the skills they need to advocate for arts
funding and other important issues. The meeting will kick off with a panel of
elected officials who will discuss models of effective advocacy.
Panelists included:
- Assemblyman Marcus Molinaro
- Sara Pasti, Beacon Councilwoman (and artist and
Director of Dorsky Museum
- Steve Gold, Mayor of Beacon
Followed by
Rapid Reports, Q and A, and a moderated discussion about best practices of
grassroots organizing to impact the decision making of school boards and town
supervisors, County Executives, State legislators, and Congress.
