Tucson: CRITICAL FUNDING INITIATIVE MEETING

CRITICAL FUNDING INITIATIVE

FOR NATURE, ARTS, CULTURE, AND HERITAGE ORGANIZATIONS

Friday, November 6

10:00 am - 12:00 noon

Tucson Symphony Center

2175 North Sixth Avenue

Tucson, AZ   85705

Current economic conditions have made it clear that Arizona's arts and culture community needs a source of public funding that is stable and secure. 

A team of advocates, including representatives of arts and culture organizations of all sizes from throughout the State, has been working to create a funding initiative to be placed on the Arizona general election ballot in November 2010. 

IF SUCCESSFUL, THIS FUNDING STREAM WOULD GENERATE APPROXIMATELY $100 MILLION ANNUALLY, WHICH WOULD BE DISPERSED BY THE ARIZONA COMMISSION ON THE ARTS TO ALL QUALIFIED NATURE, ARTS, CULTURE, AND HERITAGE ORGANIZATIONS IN ARIZONA.

NACHOs (the executive directors of Tucson's Nature, Arts, Culture, & Heritage Organizations) and TPAC (Tucson Pima Arts Council) are co-sponsoring a meeting to discuss this initiative, what success will mean to our arts and culture community (and the State of Arizona), and what we need to do collectively to ensure it is approved by voters in November 2010.

As a critical supporter of ARTS AND CULTURE, you MUST attend this meeting. 

We also encourage you to bring other influential and interested parties.

Please RSVP by November 5th to Martha Martell at mmartell@tucsonsymphony.org with the names of who will be attending.   

On behalf of NACHOs  and TPAC, we look forward to sharing the details of this exciting, TRANSFORMATIVE, initiative for the good of the entire State of Arizona.

THANK YOU!!!
