Please join the California Arts Council and California Arts Advocates for our first linked statewide conferences! We've tied our events together, hoping that many of you will attend both days.

On Tuesday, March 4th, the California Arts Council's conference theme is "The Future – What’s Next?"Speakers will lead us through presentations and round-table discussions – from state and national perspectives – through the lens of changing demographics, cultural diversity, arts education, audiences, media, etc. We greatly appreciate that Target is sponsoring our conference.

On Wednesday, March 5th, the California Arts Advocates will train us to be better advocates—to tell our stories more effectively—and lead us to meetings that very afternoon with our legislative representatives.

We look forward to "meaty" discussions, imaginative ideas and solutions – and to seeing friends from all over our great state!
