Got loyalty for the state of California in your blood? Prove it! Help us in a friendly competition between state arts agencies. Craig Watson, Director of the California Arts Council, has thrown down the gauntlet to Bob Booker, Director of the Arizona Commission on the Arts. Or, gosh, maybe it was vice versa. Who can reach 10,000 Facebook "likes" first?  

The California Arts Council has teamed up with a significant host of fellow sponsors -- including the California Department of Education, the Fresno County School District, and various leaders in the business world -- to host a landmark convocation tackling arts education issues in California schools. Over 130 stakeholders met at Loyola Marymount University to participate in the "CREATE the STATE" convocation on October 13 and 14, 2011, with parts of the conference webcast live.You can also follow the conversation at Twitter hashtag #createCA.
