Great news from capitol -- the House of Representatives funded the National Endowment for the Arts at $170 million. Although this is below the funding level of 1992, it is far better than expected.
The NEA funds a wide variety of arts programs and events across the country. You may not even realize its effect in your community or region. But to maintain any sort of viable arts presence, your action is now needed to press the Senate to vote for the spending bill. Here's the link, which will take all of two minutes to fill out the form and send it off. Hearing from constituents on what matters to them really does have an impact on legislators. If they don't hear anything, they're likely to conclude it's not that important. Well all you arts advocates out there, we know it's important because it's our jobs and our kids' futures that are at stake!!
