Advocacy

Including happenings such as Arts Day at the Statehouse, regular contact with legislators and elected officials, Arts Illiana provides leadership that actively brings the arts into the conversation of economic and community development. We serve as the common thread among cultural entities that promote and champion the arts through all private and public entities.
