‘Artless Wednesday’ starts in two days!
Pennsylvania is in day 68 of the state budget impasse. This impasse is hurting nonprofit groups all over the Commonwealth including arts organizations. It is so important for Pennsylvania’s arts organizations, arts patrons, and those who are touched by the arts everyday to continue to keep members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly informed as to what the arts do in our communities. We need to be persistent in delivering the message that, as their constituents, funding at $14 million for the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA) grants program and at $1.2 million for the administration for the PCA is a priority.
artless Wednesdays…what is it all about? Starting Wednesday and continuing each Wednesday until a budget is passed, we are asking for arts organizations to make a symbolic gesture to draw attention to what our communities might be like if there is no state support of nonprofit arts groups. Our hope is that your gestures will create opportunities for discussion on “Main Street, PA.”
