We know art matters: to our society, our culture and economy.

Recent budget constraints have challenged fine arts education programs in our public and post-secondary institutions. Now is the time to come together, build support and look for solutions.

Save Our Fine Arts (SOFA), in partnership with Calgary Arts Development, the Calgary Stampede Show Band, the Calgary Board of Education, the Calgary Association for the Development of Music Education, Westwinds Music Society and the faculty and students of Mount Royal University Jazz invite you to:

Rise up! A rally for arts education

Wednesday, June 12th, 2013, 7:30 pm
Max Bell Theatre, Epcor Centre for the Performing Arts*
Speakers, performances, discussion

* Thank you to Theatre Calgary for subsidizing venue rental costs.

Join us to celebrate and articulate the many ways that the arts contribute to our lives and begin a conversation about how we can work together to ensure commitment, alignment, and support for fine arts education.

A full theatre will send a strong message!
