GR!DSM is calling on our community to show up at the State Capital on March 5. We want our state representatives to fund arts & culture in Iowa. Let’s advocate for arts and culture in Iowa together!

Join the Iowa Cultural Coalition as they host their third annual Arts & Culture Advocacy Day at the Iowa State Capitol on Wednesday, March 5, from 7:00 - 9:00am! During this time ICC will be hosting a breakfast for our legislators and visiting with them about advocating for more public investment in arts and culture in Iowa.

After the breakfast ends at 9:00am, if you are able to attend in person, we encourage you to talk with your representative or senator when they are out of committee hearings. If you are not able to attend in person, we encourage you to be a virtual advocate and will provide you with detailed information to email to your legislators.
