Advocacy Alert

Ensuring Arts & Culture is a Gubernatorial Election Issue

As Milwaukee’s only nonprofit focused on advocating and advancing the region’s entire creative sector, Imagine MKE is ensuring arts and culture issues are part of campaign discussions in Wisconsin’s upcoming Gubernatorial primary and general elections. We want to know if and how candidates plan to strengthen the creative sector and how they would prioritize sector investment and support.

First, we’re working with the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce (MMAC) to include questions in their series of upcoming town halls with party primary candidates. Second, we will send and ask all candidates to complete a brief survey on these and other related issues. We’ll share their responses here and in other Imagine MKE communications.

 

Subscribe to our updates, check this space regularly, and follow our social media feeds to stay informed and continue to help us advocate for Greater Milwaukee’s creative sector.
