The 2020 elections are right around the corner. Presidential candidates are courting Iowa voters everyday. Do you want to learn how you can be an even more effective advocate for the arts whether you're at a Town Hall Meeting, a Presidential Caucus or a Board of Education hearing? Join us on Thursday, August 15, 2019 from 1-5pm in Des Moines for our Iowa Arts Forum. 

Ben Folds, celebrated singer-songwriter and ArtsVote 2020 Chair, joins Americans for the Arts Action Fund and the Iowa Cultural Coalition with tips to elevate the creative economy by advancing arts policy at the local, state and national levels. All 2020 presidential candidates have been invited to share their views and plans to advance policy on the arts.

This event is free, but advance registration is required. If you or someone you know would like to register, please sign up here. 

The Iowa Presidential Caucuses will have a huge impact on the future of the arts and arts education. I hope to see you there in person on August 15th.

Please also consider making a contribution to our ArtsVote2020 campaign efforts in Iowa, New Hampshire, and other early primary states.
