About the author: The Rogue Gallery & Art Center is the Rogue Valley’s premier non-profit community art center, founded in 1960 to promote and support the arts in the Rogue Valley. The Gallery offers local artists an opportunity to display their work, and because of its non-profit status can display a wide range of artistic styles and mediums not seen in commercial galleries. Aspiring artists, both children and adults, take classes from local artists and are exposed to a wide variety of artistic mediums. Our mission is to promote and provide for the study, development, exhibition, and appreciation of art. Our vision: Ignite the Mind, Stir the Soul, Open the Heart…Boldly Create!

We are the nation's leading nonprofit organization for advancing the arts in America. Launched in 2004, the Arts Action Fund seeks to engage citizens in education and advocacy in support of the arts and arts education. We received this in an email from the Arts Action Fund earlier this month and as it contains information about how we can affect US policy concerning the arts and what the Fund is doing for Arts Advocacy Day, coming up April 17, we thought it advisable to share it with our readers. Last month, Arts Action Fund members voted overwhelmingly to adopt the policy position to support a budget of $155 million for the National Endowment for the Arts and to strengthen arts education opportunities within the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.

We will train hundreds of grassroots arts advocates before they go up to Capitol Hill on these very two positions. We have enlisted the Continue reading Join the Arts PAC Monthly Giving Club By Southern Oregon Artists Resource, 1887 contributed posts
