| …OK, more than one.The arts community has urged artvote.org to follow Urban Habitat’s example of providing a questionnaire that permits candidates to state their positions. With input from the May 10 and May 18 artvote confabs, the work of oaklandartists.com |  © Ilka Hartmann 2006 |
| and artfagmafia.com, we developed questions about Oakland Arts and the issues we face in the areas of cultural facilities, the role of the arts in economic development, dedicated funding for the arts, arts education and more. We’re sending the questions to all candidates wishing to serve Oakland, and you can view and answer them yourself out at tribe.net and at the discussion area hosted by Support Oakland Artists. SOA is squarely in the Dellums camp, but their approach is impeccably even-handed, if a little sparse due to the classic band-width issues we’re all having right now.Tell you what: artvote.org encourages everyone to use any open door to the arts to voice your concerns and advance our creative solutions. | |
