On Monday April 13th Portland Mayor Sam Adams, Washington County Commissioner Dick Schouten, and Metro Councilor Carlotta Collette held a regional Town Hall on transforming how we fund the arts and arts education.

The program covered the release of the Act for Art—a regional creative action plan, tips for arts organizations in this economic crisis, and the official launch of the Creative Advocacy Network on what you can do to help establish a $15—$20 million dedicated regional fund for the arts.
