Arts Congress
Monday February 1, 2010
All new format this year. Topic: The Arts As Part
of the Solution
This year's Arts Congress brought over 200 advocates
and supporters to downtown Phoenix to receive advocacy
training and for personal meetings with their legislators.
The morning began at 9am at the Wells Fargo Conference
Center. Advocates checked in, received their packets,
group assignments and appointments. Advocates then
proceeded to the conference room for words from the
AzAA Board President Rusty Foley, the Arizona Commision
on the Arts Executive Director Robert Booker and the
AzCA/AA Executive Director Brenda Sperduti. A brieft
advocacy training session was given, then advocates
were sent on their way to the Arizona State Capitol
via public transportation (THE DASH) for their meetings,
lunch, and to participate in Senate and House Floor
Sessions and a special Arts Education workshop given
by AzCA/AA Public Ally Michael Soto.
