[FAC] Com: Imagine what 15, 000 people united in support of the cultural arts could do for Fresno

[Cynthia Cooper]

Any effective social movement throughout time can be traced to 3% of  
the population working together to make it happen – critical mass.  In  
Fresno that’s 15,000 people.  15,000.   Not that many people really.   
We can get 15,000 people united to the cultural arts.

If we had 15,000 people connected and engaged in a thriving cultural  
arts sector we would have a very different place to live.

Imagine what we could do.

At this year's Cultural Arts Conference on 10/2, we, the cultural arts  
providers, community, business and public leaderships dedicated to a  
thriving cultural community, come together to create our 3% and  
mobilize behind our first Critical Mass project - the Fresno  
centralized event calendar.

Go to www.fcash.org.  The cost is only $45 for the day, $65 is you  
want to go to the Funders' Breakfast.

We're also trying a grand experiment - the morning State of the Arts  
session is being done Pecha Kucha style!  No one that we know of has  
ever done a part of a conference Pecha Kucha style.  Kiel and Travis  
are moderating it and it will either be a fabulous success or a major  
flop.

Come.  Be a part of making something amazing happen.
