CONSTANT VIGILANCE--ADVOCACY
|  What do Advocacy and Harry Potter's Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher, Mad Eye Moody, have in common? You're probably thinking that advocacy season is still a few months or weeks away. Well... not really. In fact according to John Schratwieser, Executive Director of Maryland Citizens for the Arts (MCA), advocacy season is all year round.
So, did you send invitations and announcements about your holiday events to all your state, local, and US legislators? If not, there's still time to tell them what a big impact you had on Montgomery County this year. Look for your legislators' soft spot-- is she big on education? is he a gun-ho supporter of public safety? Can you connect your impact to their passion and demonstrate how your organization helps lawmakers carry out their own good works? Send an email today!  Let's take a peak at your Advocacy Tool Box
1. AHCMC Take Action This is the go-to place for the County strategy. Click here to see our 3 key points about the impact of arts and culture in the County.

ARTIST INCOME TAX BENEFIT
|  If you live in Silver Spring or Bethesda, two of MoCo's Arts & Entertainment districts, you may qualify for an income tax benefit. To qualify for the artist income tax benefit, you must at least meet three minimum criteria: - Own or rent residential property within Montgomery County,
- Create artistic work within the A&E District, AND
- Have generated income from the sale or performance of art within the boundaries of the A&E District.
If you can meet all three of the above criteria, then you may be eligible for a tax deduction on your state income tax.
The tax deduction - or income tax subtraction modification - is not a tax credit. Instead, artists who create and sell work within the district are not taxed on the income derived from art and art enterprises. This tax benefit only applies at the state level. Artists continue to pay the full amount of federal income tax. To find out more click here!

(New) "There is no place like home" - Rutgers - Paul Robeson Galleries - NJ Deadline: March 26, 12. The home is not only the place where the heart is, but also a site for politics and the imagination. Everyday we hear incessant news about foreclosures, vacancies, homelessness, tumbling property values, and the subsequent disruptions in people's lives, and communities. At the same time the media generates programs celebrating real estate shenanigans, and the most extreme of home renovations. This exhibition will include the work of contemporary artists who use the idea of 'home' as a source of inspiration. It may be that they look at the physical and psychological notions of home (or neighborhoods) or specific rooms within the home. Or ideas about US utopian suburbia or homes in other countries, dolls houses or haunted houses, and the where/what of the many places that various people call home. Exhibition will be on display January - March, 2013.
