Does your organization benefit from grants from the Alabama State Council on the Arts?  Do you, members of your family, or your community benefit from programs and events funded by grants from the Alabama State Council on the Arts?  

 

If the answer is yes, then you are a  stakeholder in funding for the arts in Alabama.  Join Al Head, Executive Director of the Alabama State Council on the Arts, to prepare for the upcoming legislative session and discuss ways to "make the case for public support for the arts."   There will be packets of information, a welcome by Jim Harrison, Chairman, Alabama State Council on the Arts,  perspective by Honorable Young Boozer, Alabama State Treasurer, and a summary of the process and stategy for the arts, steps to be taken, and how you can contribute to "Telling Our Story---Making the Case."
