Restore state art funds + Find new funds. The Time is Now!

ArtsGeorgia advocates:

1) an early start to restore arts funding in FY15 budget cycle.
2) an agenda to include an income tax check off, a new version of the fractional tax to support the arts and local communities, and arts funding for a new Grassroots Arts Partnership program.
3) an Arts Voter Guide during the 2014 election cycle.

2013 Funding Levels

2013 Funding Levels

As has always been the case, public funding is a modest portion of arts spending in the United States. The NEA reports public funds, this year estimated at more than $1.14B, make up less than 7% of total nonprofit arts organization revenue when including earned income and contributions from public and private sources. Public-sector funding is likely to retain this modest but essential role in the arts ecosystem supporting tens of thousands of projects and organizations in every region of the country.
