Other Acknowledgement

Please consider inviting Talbot Arts staff and Board Members to any public event that may include donor recognition as part of the programming. Public acknowledgement of Talbot Arts funding particularly when a staff, board member, or local legislator is present, allows for arts audiences to understand the connection between the vote they cast for local officials, the local official’s support of Talbot Arts funding, and how that funding returns to the communities of arts-connected constituents. Please send invitations to jlevy@talbotarts.org.
