Register for Americans for the Arts and the Arts Action Fund's second in our free webinar series, ArtsVote: Engaging Candidates in Your Community, on May 26, 2026 @ 2:00 - 3:00 pm ET. This webinar will take a deeper dive into how 501c3 nonprofit organizations and individuals can safely and effectively participate in candidate engagement activities while discussing arts issues.
Election years create important opportunities for arts and culture organizations to engage candidates, elevate community priorities, and ensure the arts remain part of public conversations. But understanding how to safely and effectively interact with candidates, host public forums, and participate in voter education and turnout efforts requires a clear understanding of compliance with practical examples.
