Time to rev up the emails, faxes, pitchforks...
The Decentralized Arts Funding Program grants dollars have basically been zeroed out by the Governor along with a significant cut in Statewide Arts Grants in the 2009/2010 state budget. The Arts Council of New Orleans administers the Decentralized Arts Grants in this region and the Louisiana Division of the Arts administers Statewide Arts Grants.
The House Appropriations Committee will be meeting next week and we need to deluge them with emails, faxes and phone calls urging them to reinstate the grants dollars. Please go to the Louisiana Partnership for the Arts’ website, www.lparts.org, type in your zip code in the "Write Your Legislator" box at the lower left hand corner.
