SAMPLE EMAIL
Subject: Vote YES to create a new Department of Arts and Culture
Dear City Councilors,
I urge you to vote in favor of the creation of a new stand-alone Department of Arts and Culture.
A new Department of Arts and Culture will provide a strategic focus on the sector’s benefits, such as fostering community, driving economic activity to our village centers, and amplifying the work of more than 35+ arts organizations and countless creatives in our City.
A new Department of Arts & Culture will also break down the “arts silo” in Newton to integrate arts and culture into other city departments and can more easily partner with existing arts and culture organizations and creatives to achieve broader social and economic goals.
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Your Name
