Update on Arts Block Grant Funding
The legislative wheels continue to turn as legislators and the Governor approach the formidable challenge of a budget with a deficit that seems to grow weekly. No decisions have been made on any of the legislation that's been proposed. Expectations are growing as to what the Governor's revised budget, known as the "May Revise", may hold. It is expected to be released in the middle of the month.
We anticipate a long, challenging campaign to help ensure that the arts education block grant continue to be funded in the coming budget, and will turn to you for your support when the time is right.
