Citizens for the Arts in Pennsylvania (CFAPA) is a statewide arts advocacy organization that organizes the arts community to challenge the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Legislature and Congress to support funding and legislation that will bolster the arts and culture sector. Our mission is to ensure the practice of, access to, and  appreciation of arts and culture for all citizens in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
"The rapidly evolving global economy demands a dynamic and creative workforce. The arts and its related businesses are responsible for billions of dollars in cultural exports for this country. It is imperative that we continue to support the arts and arts education both on the national and local levels. The strength of every democracy is measured by its commitment to the arts.” –                                               
                                              Charles Segars, CEO of Ovation
Through advocacy and policy development Citizens for the Arts in Pennsylvania works to create a Commonwealth where the arts and culture sector is viewed as a critical component of a livable, workable, and educated Pennsylvania.

How Do You Fit In?

CFAPA is a grassroots advocacy organization. This means that we organize members of the arts community, including the arts supporting public, to demonstrate to our legislators the importance of the arts in Pennsylvania and to affect the outcome of legislative decisions by making sure that our elected officials hear the voices of the arts community. Our coalition includes artists, audiences, arts educators, and arts organizations, big and small, and the general public in metro and rural areas who believe, as we do, that the arts contribute in positive ways to communities statewide.

The most important piece of this puzzle is YOU.

Your input is important to your legislators, whether it be letters, meetings, phone calls, or even a simple postcard. We succeed because thousands of arts advocates in the state of Minnesota, organized by MCA, make their voices heard year after year. We are here to help you be effective!
