First Seattle / Washington EMP Event - November 6th!

I'm very excited to welcome everyone to the first Washington Emerging Museum Professionals event! The details are as follows:

Date: November 6, 2008
Time: 5:00-8:00PM
Place: Experience Music Project | Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame
Revolution Bar & Grill (upstairs section)
325 5th Ave N
Seattle, WA 98109

This event is a great opportunity to make connections and meet others in the museum field whom you may not know. I also invite you to bring along any guests you may feel would also enjoy the opportunity to meet fellow museum professionals. I hope you are able to join us, as it would be great to meet all of you in person!

The bar will be offering Happy Hour pricing on drinks. Also, this event coincides with an "All Access Night" at the museum, meaning admission to both the Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame is free from 5:00 PM - 8:00PM, so you will be able to check out the museum, if you would like to do so during the evening. To find out what exhibitions are currently running at the museum, please visit www.empsfm.org.

Hope to see you there!

Presidential Candidate Positions on the Arts

Click here to be directed to the Americans for the Arts Action Fund website where you get can a quick summary on the positions of both presidential candidates on the Arts.

Here's a little information on the Americans for the Arts Action Fund: "Americans for the Arts Action Fund is the bipartisan advocacy arm of Americans for the Arts, engaging citizens in ensuring that all Americans have the opportunity to appreciate, value, and participate in the arts. Arts Action Fund members are citizen activists who are committed to helping make certain that arts-friendly public policies are adopted at every level of government and in the private sector. ArtsVote2008, a program of the Arts Action Fund, was created to secure bold, new policy proposals in support of the arts and arts education in America from candidates in the 2008 presidential campaign."
