Candidate Forums
Connect with Candidates in your area
A statewide series of virtual candidate forums hosted by the CT Arts Alliance and our regional partners
If we want the arts to thrive, we need to support arts champions!
The candidates we support this November will be legislators making decisions about budget priorities in 2023 and they’ll be the ones who will support policies that benefit the arts community. If we want the arts to be a priority, then we need arts champions!
We’re working with our regional partners to organize five moderated forums so that you can hear from candidates firsthand and question them on arts issues you care about. Be sure to join #CreatetheVoteCT for updates on details and registration information!
