WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 2023
Citizens for the Arts in Pennsylvania is happy to see that new Governor, Josh Shapiro, has introduced a 2023-24 fiscal budget that includes an increase to the Grants to the Arts line item for the first time since the 2015-16 budget.
While we are excited about this positive movement, we recognize that this may not be enough for arts organizations across the commonwealth trying to keep up with the rising cost of inflation and expenses of operating post-pandemic.
Please help us do our best advocacy by joining us in Harrisburg on Wednesday, April 26th for Arts Advocacy Day.
Details on the events of the day will be released soon, but you can register to participate NOW!
