The Americans for the Arts and the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies will hold their second joint convention July 17-20, 2004, in Washington, D.C. at the Omni Shoreham Hotel.

During Participate 2004, attendees will come together and learn from each other in the creation of a national action agenda, detailing how organizations can affect individuals through the arts and increase their community engagement.
