CELEBRATING OUR SUCCESS...
RI CFA is celebrating our great success after helping to save funding
for the arts this past June. The cuts proposed by Governor Carcieri
earlier this year - 1% for the Arts public art program, the Film Tax
credit, and $700,000 in grant dollars through RI State Council on the
Arts - have been restored in the Assembly's budget!
NOW ONTO THE ELECTIONS
YOUR VOTE MATTERS!
Election season has begun and we must ask candidates these important questions:
- Will you add a position inside government that works to
nurture economic development in the creative sector?
- Will you support an increase in grant funds through RI State
Council for the Arts from $700,000 to $1.5 million by 2014?
- How will you prioritize arts education inside schools within your
plan for education reform in Rhode Island?
