Mission

Our mission is to cultivate public support for the arts and unite Montanans to advocate for policies that enrich our creative communities.

Vision

We envision a Montana where citizens unite across all backgrounds, beliefs, and differences to speak up for the shared value of arts and culture. In this future, our elected officials are well-informed of the deep and broad impact of public arts funding, and Montana Cultural Advocacy serves as a trusted partner and advisor on the nuances of the creative economy. Through our work, we help shape policies that allow cultural life to flourish in all Montana communities, unlocking creative, arts-driven solutions to broader challenges in education, health, the economy, and beyond.
