Supporting the Robert F. Wagner, Jr. Fellowship for Public Policy and the Arts
Thank you for your support of the
Friends of the Arts Party yesterday. The party was a big success--
over 300 people came together at Christie's to celebrate
great art and a great cause, exceeding our goal of $50,000 for
the Robert F. Wagner Jr. Fellowship for Public Policy and the Arts.

THE ALLIANCE FOR THE ARTS serves the entire cultural community
through research and advocacy and informs the public through cultural
guides and calendars. Now in our 32nd year, we publish information on
the arts and cultural events in New York City as well as studies highlighting
the importance of the arts to the economy and to education.
THE ROBERT F. WAGNER, JR. FELLOWSHIP FOR PUBLIC POLICY AND THE ARTS was inaugurated in 2002. Young professionals acquire first-hand experience researching and informing public policy for the cultural community. Named in memory of Robert F. Wagner, Jr. (1944-1993), a prominent government official and teacher and an Alliance board member for many years, the Fellow acts as a liaison between the Alliance and its sister cultural organizations and as an advocate to public officials.
