Advocate for the arts in upcoming Mayoral Forums!
Grab your neighbor, and get going to these upcoming Mayoral Forums. Ask these forum-appropriate questions, such as:
The arts are essential to an elevated quality of life. How will the Mayor reimagine City services to include the arts, such as opportunities to deliver public service messaging to promote health and safety?
Will the next Mayor of Houston commit to a line item in the City Budget supporting the arts?
Mayor Annise Parker concluded that there was not enough funding for the arts in Houston in her preface to Houston’s Cultural Plan in 2015. What practical steps will the next Mayor of Houston do to make the arts a priority in this city?
With the city’s funding for the arts dependent on economic activity, how are the arts going to be integrated into the City’s development plans to provide our incredibly talented artists from leaving the city?
