TnWS CALENDAR of EVENTS
IMPORTANT SURVEY: Help Ensure Our TAC Funding Tennesseans for the Arts (TFTA) is a valuable partner to every artist and organization receiving state funding, like us. In their effort to educate candidates and elected officials about the value of the arts in TN, TFTA has developed a survey with which to learn more about attitudes and support for the arts in our communities. Tn Arts Commission has strongly encouraged that each one of our members take this survey, saying our views and candid opinions are important as TFTA plans their advocacy efforts.
