The Association of Wisconsin Symphony Orchestras

Hello AWSO members: thanks for the opportunity to talk about the Cultural Data Project and what it can mean for you and for Wisconsin, at your annual meeting on Friday. A good group of people and a good conversation!

Below (and attached) is information about the Cultural Data Project (CDP), Arts Wisconsin, and the arts in Wisconsin. We’ll keep you updated on the progress towards CDP, and, on the ways in which you can speak up for the arts, arts education and creative economy during this very important election season.

Please send questions, comments and ideas - keep in touch with me at akatz@artswisconsin.org or (608) 255 8316. Many thanks for your good work.
