Arts Advocacy Tool Kit
With the latest Division of the Arts cuts, it seems like a good time to re-post the Fundamentals of Arts Advocacy Powerpoint from Americans for the Arts. Download it here.
Louisiana Arts Funding Cuts
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.

Colton
Nice T-P article on Colton School, with appearances by Arts Council friends David Weinberg, Angelamia Bachemin, and others. Hopefully they can work something out with the RSD and keep it operating in it's current state. The location is ideal, and with a little (okay, a lot) of capital improvements, it could be a real catalyst for cultural development.

Tax Credit Fun
Good to see the Governor looking to extend the tax credits. We know they can be pricey, but the film tax credit has been great, and we're starting to see some permanent infrastructure come into place. Also, we still think that if the music credits can reach their potential, we'll see significant industry development.
