The Creative Coalition’s 2006 Capitol Hill
Celebration of American Arts
Washington, DC (Thursday, March 9, 2005): The Creative Coalition will be leading a distinguished and select delegation to Congress and the White House to meet with national policy leaders to discuss the future of Federal funding for the arts and arts in education. In a time of varying viewpoints and shifting priorities, it is critical that we keep the arts front and center in the minds of our political leaders. The day culminates with The Creative Coalition and Washington Life Magazine’s 2006 Capitol Hill Celebration of the Arts. The event will feature The Creative Coalition’s annual Ultimate Gift Bag Gala where attendees will have the opportunity to choose the most deluxe and state-of-the-art merchandise — the Ultimate in luxury from the worlds of fashion, beauty, entertainment, electronics and travel for your shopping pleasure.
