The Letter Project
Deadline: Mailed by November 6
The Letter Project, led by Missouri Citizens for the Arts (MCA), is a way for citizens to let Missouri’s Governor Jay Nixon know that they care about the arts. MCA hopes to deliver 500 letters to Governor Nixon, asking for budget funding of the arts in our state. Being an arts advocate means communicating that you believe the arts are important to your representatives and how to best support the cause.
Supply the attached form letter to any friends, family, members, or attendees at events. Anyone and everyone who supports the arts is welcome to participate.
When you are finished, please mail your letter(s) to:
Missouri Citizens for the Arts
P.O. Box 187

MCA will collect all letters and deliver them in person to Governor Nixon.
