At the AFCC, one of our goals is to have a voice at the legislative table, advocating for the arts to ensure that they remain a key component of our community. In collaboration with MASSCreative, we are working to strengthen our advocacy through highlighting the important role that arts and culture play on Cape Cod.
Our advocacy work is nonpartisan designed to bring arts and culture to the forefront at election time. We encourage candidates for political office to develop dynamic cultural policies, and we lead by example by convening meetings of community leaders on issues related to the arts and by attending art and cultural events. Each candidate is given a questionnaire about the arts, and the responses are publicized, resulting in more informed voters at the polls. The campaign also engages in broad-based education by holding public meetings with candidates, artists, and cultural leaders.
