We all know that arts matter - they drive our economy, they enhance education, they help build vibrant and connected communities.

As we prepare for Arts Matter Day on October 23, we want to hear why arts matter to you and why you're celebrating to Arts Matter Day. Let's create a huge buzz to show that arts matter in MA.

Make an #ArtsMatter video:

• Make sure you have clear sound and that light is on your face, not behind it.
• Record a 30-60 second video of why arts matter to you and why you're coming to Arts Matter Advocacy Day. Speak from the heart.
