✨ April Arts Advocacy Month is Here! 🎨 This m

✨ April Arts Advocacy Month is Here! 🎨
This month, we celebrate the transformative power of the arts and the tireless efforts of those who advocate for their rightful place in our communities. It's a call to action, a reminder of the importance of art in our lives, and a beacon of hope for a brighter, more creative future.
In the spirit of advocacy, we want to spotlight the extraordinary work of ArtsLB in Long Beach, California. While the State of Florida invests $2.71 per capita in the arts, and California as a whole invests just $0.67, ArtsLB is leading by example with an astounding investment of over $10 per person. This not only showcases their commitment to nurturing local talent but also sets a high standard for arts investment across the Golden State.
We believe in the power of art to inspire, unite, and drive positive change. That's why we're calling on everyone—from policymakers to art lovers—to take a leaf out of Long Beach's book. Let's work together to ensure the arts in California are supported and valued as they truly deserve.
