Arts Alliance is launching a set of three organizing spaces: regular advocacy-training and strategizing sessions where cultural sector advocates and Arts Alliance staff can deepen relationships across the field, align on shared advocacy goals, and take informed, collective action.
Each cohort will meet monthly on Zoom for legislative updates from the Alliance, issue-focused strategy discussions, and organizing training.
