Our Mission
Missouri Citizens for the Arts is a non-partisan, state-wide, grass roots organization that advocates to secure stable financial support for the arts to benefit Missouri and its citizens.
We keep up with arts issues nationwide…
Consider joining Americans for the Arts as a way to bolster your efforts as an arts advocate in Missouri and nationwide. Americans for the Arts works on the federal level to secure funding for the National Endowment for the Arts, which directly benefits our state. And Americans for the Arts regularly undertakes important policy research that helps us make the case about the economic impact of the arts industry in Missouri and across the nation.
We provide information about…
- Advocating for the arts, in general
- The impact of the arts in Missouri
- The importance of arts education in Missouri schools
Adopt-A-Legislator
We need you to help us educate elected officials about the importance of the arts in Missouri. Sign on to be a part of MCA’s Adopt-A-Legislator program HERE. Simply “adopt” one or more legislators from your area. We’ll send you tips for staying in touch with them about issues that are important to Missouri’s creative industry. It will be as simple as you sending an occasional email or making a phone call every now and then. Together, we can make this legislative session the best yet for arts advocacy!
