How can we bring more attention to the numerous museums in the city? What exciting things are happening during the 10-day festival and the coming months that the community should know? Wisconsin continues to be last in the nation in funding for the arts. Given the $10.8 billion impact, how can we stress the importance of supporting and growing the institutions that improve the quality of life in our state?
Register online to attend. A light lunch will be available.
