CAN, the Creative Advocacy Network, believes the arts are critical to real education. They are working hard to help Portland schools restore arts education for every K-5 student. As you might imagine, there are lots of ways you can help this worthy mission, but here’s one that’s easy and fun… consider attending their “Artful Evening of Appreciation” dinner, Dec 7 from 5:30 to 7pm at The 
Armory Mezzanie, 128 NW Eleventh Ave. If you’d like to know more, you can join the conversation at Facebook/theArtsCAN and Twitter@theArtsCAN. Come on out… the arts need you!
