MCA Is Looking For Campus Arts Advocates
MCA is now recruiting CAMPUS ARTS ADVOCATES to connect students with our statewide network of arts supporters.
Jan 7th is the official Campus Arts Advocates kick-off party!
If you are a student at a Minnesota college or university, join us at the MCA office in St. Paul from 6 to 9 PM to:
meet and hang with other Campus Arts Advocates and the MCA staff
receive Advocacy training
get jazzed for Arts Advocacy Day
chow down on some pizza.
You must RSVP to Kate ASAP so we know how much pizza to bring: mca@mtn.org or 651.251.0868.
We have less than two months to prepare for a great Arts Advocacy Day - February 22nd - at the state capitol.
When you become a CAMPUS ARTS ADVOCATE, you get to:
network with artists and legislators in your district and across the state
broaden your knowledge of the statewide arts community
play an influential role in educating your peers on the legislative process surrounding arts funding
organize students to attend MCA events, including “Advocacy 101″ trainings, and MCA’s Annual Arts Advocacy Day at the State Capitol
**(Each “Campus Arts Advocate” will also receive an official MCA bumpersticker and t-shirt.)** This is not a time-intensive project, but it does require a diligent commitment to communication. If you or a student you know is interested in this opportunity, visit the MCA website at www.mtn.org/mca to sign up, and be sure to join us on January 7th!!!!

Minnesota Citizens for the Arts is funded entirely by the dues of its members. Do you appreciate receiving up to the minute news on the fate of the arts in the Minnesota State Legislature and Congress? We could not provide Arts Alerts if it weren’t for the wonderful and committed arts advocates who show their commitment by joining MCA. You can join by printing out the membership form on our website at http://www.mtn.org/mca. Individual dues are just $30, and a household membership is just $40. Thank you!
