Keep Up the Momentum on Arts Funding!
Please sign MASSCreative's petition to urge Gov. Patrick to restore state investment in the arts & cultural community to where it was a decade ago by increasing the Massachusetts Cultural Council budget by $5 million to a total of $16 million.
Twenty-five years ago, the Commonwealth invested $26 million in the creative community; ten years ago that investment was $19 million. Today, the MCC budget stands at just $11.1 million.
When you sign the petition, you are helping to unite the creative community with one voice. By joining us in asking Gov. Patrick for a $5 million increase in state investment in the creative community through the MCC budget, you are helping to bring more resources to the hundreds of arts and cultural organizations that bring our communities together, spur economic activity, and create places where we all want to live, work, play, and visit. Please add your name and pass this petition along to friends, family, and colleagues.
Keep up the good work Cape Cod!
