From funding sources to advocacy opportunities, Inspire Washington staff will share all the information you need to know right now. Together we will work on messaging the importance of our cultural work at this crucial crossroads for our state and communities. We will use our combined voices to communicate these messages to our local and state representatives for the recovery, re-establishment, and growth of science, heritage, and the arts for all of our communities. These meetings are free and open to the community. We've organized them by county, so you'll be able to connect with other cultural leaders in your area.
