What is the Advocates Circle?
The Community Arts Partnership has a pr

We invite you to become part of the Circle, thereby providing CAP with the resources needed to take on these important additional responsibilities:
-
Working with local, state and national representatives to advocate effectively for Tompkins County's cultural institutions and opportunities.
-
Bring stakeholders together to define areas of mutual interest and develop clear messages and methods to advance those interests with a unified voice.
-
Enrich local arts and cultural programs and projects through research and the development of sources of significant support from outside of Tompkins County.
Benefits Provided Advocacy Members Include:
-
Invitation to CAP's annual celebration.
-
Kickoff "first dibs" reception for our annual CAP-a-Palooza Art Sale Extraordinaire.
-
Monthly e-mail updates and news from CAP Director Megan Barber.
