Keep the conversation going by asking the candidates questions about arts and culture. Raise your hand at events, tweet at the candidates, email them, and pose questions on their Facebook pages about their positions on arts, culture, and creativity. 

You can pull a question from Create the Vote Franklin's arts & culture questionnaire, or use one from below.

Sample questions to ask in person:

What will you do as Mayor to support arts education in the city’s schools and in our community?

How would you use the creative community to drive economic development in the city?

How would you grow the arts budget for the city?
