Right To Bear Arts Day Events & Gala

The Creative Coalition is heading to Capitol Hill on April 25th for their annual Right To Bear Arts Day making the case that investing in the arts fuels economic growth, job creation & thriving local communities in these challenging times. With a strategic plan in place The Creative Coalition’s delegation is prepared to champion the economic, educational & social benefits of the arts directly with lawmakers led by The Creative Coalition’s President & Actor Tim Daly & CEO Robin Bronk. Tim Daly stated, “The arts are not just a cultural asset—they are a cornerstone of economic growth & national prosperity. The arts sector generated over $1.1 trillion in 2022, accounting for 4.3% of the US GDP. More than 3.48 million Americans rely on arts-related jobs. Investing in the arts is one of the most effective ways to drive economic growth, job creation & innovation.” Robin Bronk concluded, “Every $1 invested in the arts generates nearly $9 in economic activity—fueling job creation, small business growth & community development. Yet, federal arts funding remains a fraction of a percent of the national budget. Supporting the arts isn’t charity—it’s sound economic policy. Strong arts programs correlate with lower crime rates, thriving local economies & higher student achievement. It’s time for policymakers to recognize the arts as a national priority.” Immediately after Right To Bear Arts Day The Creative Coalition will host the 24th Annual Right To Bear Arts Benefit Gala Dinner. I talked to Robin in this exclusive 2011 interview about The Creative Coalition & as a fierce ally her spin in on our LGBTQ issues. LISTEN
