Restore State Funds for the Arts – ArtsGeorgia Budget Proposal

Let’s work together to be better than 50th in the U.S. in arts spending. Artists, arts educators, local arts councils and all arts organizations are invited to support ArtsGeorgia’s FY2015 Budget Proposal. Action steps will be emailed and posted on ArtsGeorgia social media. Review the proposal; your comments are welcomed
email us at artsga@artsgeorgia.net

The budget is being drafted. Waiting ’til next year hasn’t worked. Restore state support for the Arts – The Time Is Now!

Summary:

1. Increase the GCA annual budget for more grants and for support of arts education.

2. Additional separate funding for Community Arts Partners to support the arts in all 159 Georgia counties.

Join in this advocacy with ArtsGeorgia to persuade our elected officials that the Georgia arts community is doing its part. After 5 years of the 90% cut in state arts funding the time is now for the Governor and our state legislators to restore arts funding so our artists, arts educators, arts organizations and state arts council can do their work. In 2015, let’s celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Georgia Council for the Arts honoring their achievements and Georgia’s rich tradition of arts and culture.
