>>
>> On SUNDAY 6 October 1996 as many people as possible--thousands, maybe
>> 100s of thousands--will, we hope, come to Washington DC to celebrate the
>> arts, to do art, to show ourselves to ourselves and the nation. This
>> celebration/performance/march is called ARTNOW.
>>
>> The idea is to make a great big celebration in Washington DC on 5 October
>> 1996 to *celebrate* the arts, to protest the cuts in arts funding, to
>> change negative attitudes towards art into positive ones. We need to come
>> together to celebrate what we love and to insist that our government
>> recognize their monetary responsibility for a flourishing arts culture.
>>
>> ARTNOW is a very big but extremely locally organized event. Everyone all
>> around the country should spread the word and organize it. Network, plan,
>> and come to Washington on 5 October. This is a grassroots effort. Take
>> the initiative, do it your way and make this event happen.
>>
>> WHAT TO DO and FOR MORE INFO:
