Support the Arts

[catscradle]

Whatever state you live in, you may want to check out if the arts funding has been cut by the government in your area. Seems our "defense" spending in the past year has pre-empted monies that would have gone to the arts. Found this headline today:

Governor Owens' Eliminates ALL State Funding for Denver County Arts Organizations

Governor Bill Owens' recent budget cuts totaled less than 2% of Colorado's annual budget, but eliminated ALL STATE FUNDING for Denver county arts organizations through exercising a line-item veto of state funding for the Colorado Council on the Arts.

If you believe the arts are not expendable or optional, please join us in reminding our elected officials that the arts and arts funding are important to Denver citizens.

I found more info in the Rocky Mountain News : There's no art to governor's line-item veto of metro funds

Support the arts through donations if you have the means - Vote Independant and Green.

I am seriously depressed.
