me arts ed 
Is there a place I can find more information about this event? Google can’t find it, if so! (is it free, who is invited/is it geared towards… i found an image that said “let your legislators know how important the arts are” or something similar… I’m wondering about that. Is the turnout itself the advocacy piece, or is there something else to it? Thanks!!!
