STATE CAPITOL, PHOENIX – Senator Sean Bowie has been named a 2017 Arts

Arizona.

Senator Bowie and ten of his legislative colleagues were chosen “for
ensuring that critical funding for arts and culture will benefit the entire
state of Arizona,” said Catherine “Rusty” Foley, executive director of Arizona
Citizens for the Arts. “Those vital dollars will be invested in local nonprofit
arts and culture organizations which will reinvest the funds in local economies
all around the state.”
"As someone who grew up in Chandler and Ahwatukee participating in
theatre and music programs, it is a huge honor to receive this award from the
Arizona Citizens for the Arts. The arts community is a critical part of the
community and economy in my district, and I will always advocate for additional
support to strengthen our local arts programs."
