Drexel’s Arts Administration Graduate Association (AAGA) sponsored its fifth annual art auction on Feb. 8 to raise funds in order to send arts administration graduate students to Arts Advocacy Day in Washington D.C.

The 2008 Arts Advocacy Day, set to be held March 31 to April 1, is a two-day summit in which representatives from cultural and civic organizations meet with legislators in order to lobby for the funding and support of the arts. According to a College of Media Arts and Design press release, the purpose of Arts Advocacy Day is to network, learn how to lobby congress for increased support for the arts and develop strong public policies. www.thetriangle.org
