FAA Political Forum

A Message from the Fredericton Arts Alliance

The Fredericton Arts Alliance is a not-for profit arts advocacy and lobbying association founded in 1999 to present a collective voice for the development of all artistic disciplines. Part of the mandate of the Fredericton Arts Alliance is to mobilize the arts community to encourage artists, arts organizations, arts workers and friends of the arts to vote, and engage in meaningful political dialogue with the candidates.

The Fredericton Arts Alliance Candidates’ Forum on the Arts, 2006 is a initiative of the Fredericton Arts Alliance designed to encourage individuals interested in the Arts to vote in the upcoming Federal election and to be informed on relevant election issues. The Fredericton Arts Alliance is inviting all four electoral candidates to participate in an arts and culture community forum to be held at the auditorium in Charlotte Street Arts Centre on Charlotte Street, January 4th, 2006 from 7pm-9pm. This forum is open to the general public. All are welcome.

If you are an artist, or arts organization, and would like to ask a question appropriate for all the candidates to answer, please submit your question in writing to frederictonartsalliance@yahoo.ca by Friday, December the 23rd by noon. Unfortunately, questions after the 23rd can not be accepted. There will be an approval process to ensure that questions fit within the scope of a Federal election, that there are not duplicates, and so forth. It is a requirement that you or your representative must be present at the Forum to ask your question directly to the candidates.

This a great opportunity to make your views known, and to hear what candidates have to offer.
