"The Million Artist March On the Avenue of the Arts in Philadelphia"
1999-07-17 until 1999-07-17
MAMOTAA
Philadelphia, PA, USA United States of America

The Million Artist March is organized by MAMOTAA, an arts advocacy group under the non-profit umbrella of Jobs With Peace. MAMOTAAs goal is to send one million signatures to Congress requesting that art programs be reinstated in the public school curriculum. We also ask that art teachers and artists be hired to teach these programs. MAMOTAAs work will not end in July 17, 1999. We will continue to be an arts advocacy organization, job bank and information center until Washington addresses this issue.

The day will begin at 11am with a dance, music and color-filled march from the Avenue of the Arts to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway where seven stages will provide music performance and spoken word events. The Parkway will be lined with tables to sell original art work. If youre an artist, art student, parent or concerned citizen, come to Philadelphia to show your support. CELEBRATE for a cause.
