Washington, DC, May 2, 2014 – Today, The Creative Coalition’s Arts Team will be on Capitol Hill to focus national leaders on the efficacy of championing the arts. “It’s not a red issue, it’s not a blue issue — arts is a national issue,” said The Creative Coalition CEO Robin Bronk. “We’re here in Washington, D.C. to protect a national treasure. Fund the arts in America, and we’re ensuring a future for economic development. For every $1 spent on the arts, $7 comes back into our communities,” Ms. Bronk continued.
