A Message From Toni Tennille
Many years ago, then Governor of Nevada, Bob Miller, appointed me Ambassador to the Arts for the State of Nevada, and I have held that position ever since. I have always been proud to be able to tell people around the country that The Arts, in all forms, thrive in Nevada. I know that when most people think of Nevada, they think of cowboys and casinos, and we DO have those. But Nevada is also home to poets, writers, musicians, dancers, sculptors, painters and creative people of all kinds. In fact, some of our cowboys are poets! Nevadans wholeheartedly embrace and support their artists, and the beauty of Nevada provides endless inspiration. My job as Arts Ambassador was to tell the world about the Arts in Nevada, and to regularly beg the legislature for more money for the Arts!!!! I am very proud to have been a Nevadan for the past 22 years.
Nevada Arts Advocates thanks Toni for her involvement as Ambassador for the Arts. The loss to the State with her relocation will be felt by many.We wish Toni and Daryl a fond farewell.
