The Batavia Music and Arts Advocacy Group (B-MAA) met Wednesday evening at the GO ART! building on Main Street in Downtown Batavia.

Some points of discussion at this meeting were who we are as a group and our purpose. There was discussion focusing around the possible consolidation of the Batavia Elementary School buildings and how these changes could affect the arts programs within the school district.

We are working to format a plan of action to bring awareness to the community, reach out to the Batavia Board of Education as well as the administration, and engage in advocacy efforts at concerts and school events.

Our next meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 19, again at the GO ART! building.

We invite and encourage anyone who has a love and passion for the arts to join us. If you have any ideas, suggestions, or information you would like to share with our group please feel free to email us at artsadvocacy14020yahoo.com
