Arts U: 2022 Post Election Impact on the Arts

Please register for our FREE webinar on ArtsU on Monday, November 21, 2022, from 3:00-4:30 pm ET.

The 2022 U.S. elections could have a profound impact on the creative economy at the federal, state, and local levels. In this webinar, speakers will overview changes that come with election results and, more importantly, their potential effect on the arts. We’ll also discuss actions advocates can take right away to welcome new legislators before they are sworn in. We are pleased that our speakers will explore perspectives from the federal, state, and local levels.
