The Cultural Advocacy Coalition serves as your political voice in Salem on behalf of Oregon’s arts, heritage and humanities. And culture – which benefits every Oregonian – cannot thrive without public investment partnerships.

For a current update on the CAC's activities, view the 2009 Legislative Report.
