Why Advocate?

Emerging Arts Leaders Symposium: October 2012 found an article in the The New York Times that stated “advocacy groups find themselves competing for financing against the very cultural organizations they were created to support, which in turn can no longer afford the dues required by some of the groups that advocate for them.” With simple and compelling arguments from individuals like Metropolitan Opera board member Robert W. Wilson-“I would rather support the arts organizations themselves”-the question now becomes… do the arts need advocates?
