As the White House Correspondents' Dinner festivities returned to Washington DC, so did the Creative Coalition, the delegation of Hollywood stars and creators who band together to advocate for arts funding from Congress.

This year's group felt hopeful about the support and feedback from legislators as they talked about howthe arts impacted their on lives.

On hand were the likes of Tim Daly (who is the President of the Creative Coalition) as well as Anthony Carrigan from HBO's "Barry", Kyla Pratt from "Call Me Kat" and Justin Bartha from the "National Treasure" and "Hangover" franchises.
