TOWN HALL MEETING: Arts and the Fall Election 2016


Arts and Arts Education are a primary concern for many of us in California and this Fall's general election promises to be of historic importance for our state and our country. Find out where the candidates stand on the arts. Learn about the potential impact of California ballot measures on arts in our schools and our communities. Whether you are involved in the arts as an artist, administrator, advisor, volunteer, board member, teacher, parent or business person, don't miss this opportunity to make an informed decision when you cast your vote. Candidate and ballot measure campaign representatives will be present to share their views, answer your questions and respond to your comments.


Candidates for the California State Assembly and California State Senate and US Congress from Sacramento, Yolo, Placer and El Dorado counties have been invited and will be in attendance for this lively discussion on what is at stake!
