Arts for LA will be conducting a survey all of the candidates running for LA City Council, LAUSD Board, Pasadena City Council and Pasadena USD Board prior to the March 8, 2011 elections.  LA City and Pasadena are the sites of our current advocacy workshop series, with the goal of creating a team of arts advocates to ensure that the arts are part of the election disco

Lynn Robb, Co-Chair of the Santa Monica Malibu Arts Advocacy Team, blogs about the importance of inquiry, teaching art, and asking the Big Question.
