Hollywood on the Potomac has often caught up with The Creative Coalition during trips to DC and tracked their progress supporting funding for the arts. The annual #RightToBearArts Gala the night before the Correspondents' Dinner brought together actors, comedians, writers, producers, and advocates for an evening of united support for the creative arts and government funding to support arts programs around the country.

The delegation included Emmy Award-nominee Tim Daly, the longtime President of the Creative Coalition, along with other performers like Yvette Nicole Brown, Billy Eichner, Wendie Malick, Clark Gregg, Justin Hartley, Raegan Revord, Jason Isaacs, and Cobie Smulders.

This year's efforts included encouraging conversations about keeping the budget for the arts in tact and the power of artistic programs for help youths, veterans, and everyone in between.

Take a look at what other attendees had to share about the arts and their time in Washington:
