Artists Under The Dome: Why Participating Matters
The 9th Annual Artists Under the Dome is less than a week away. It is on Wednesday, November 4th, from 9:30 a.m. – 2 p.m. in the Great Hall of the Massachusetts State House in Boston. The only event of its kind in this country, it has become a day both the artists community and the legislative/public policy community look forward to each year.
Much good has come from this annual event. Legislators and policy makers get a chance to thank and talk directly with the artists community regarding issues, legislation, and regulations that directly impact working artists of all disciplines. This event also enables much networking and resource sharing between participating artists. This day has also helped to grow much needed long-term connections between the artists community and legislators/policy makers of our Commonwealth.
Here is a link to some of the key legislation MALC is following and will be discussing on Nov. 4th:

A special thank you to those artists who are able to take the time to come to the State House on November 4th to engage with their elected officials and state policy makers. Unlike the majority of arts administrators and arts leaders who are paid to do these kind of events, most artists are taking a day off from work and/or from their studio/creative time to attend.
Remember, if you are coming, register and also share the event with others!

Even if you can’t make the event, you can still participate:
