Roxy Regional Theatre launches ‘I Support the Arts’ campaign with “The Earth Without Art Is Just ‘Eh'” Yard Signs
Clarksville, TN – The Roxy Regional Theatre is offering a different type of yard sign after this especially contentious and divisive political season.
“The Earth Without Art Is Just ‘Eh'” vertical yard signs are a new grassroots fundraiser to support the iconic Roxy Regional Theatre organization with a 38-year tenure in Historic Downtown Clarksville.
“With all of the divisive political advertisements surrounding the November election, we hope to launch an ‘I Support the Arts’ campaign that can bring unity to the community around the idea of supporting the arts,” said Ryan Bowie, Executive Director of the Roxy Regional Theatre.
