Artless
From WETM-TV.
SAYRE – One Northern Tier theatre is joining a state-wide protest against cuts in funding for the arts.
Right now arts in Pennsylvania receive 15-million dollars.
Governor Ed Rendell is proposing a one-million cut in funding.
To protest, the Sayre Theater will drape a black drop-cloth over the facility’s marquee.
Art facilities across the state are also declaring Wednesday as “Artless Wednesday”.
The goal is to also show neighbors what it would be like if art didn’t exist in their communities.
