Since 1994, due to federal cuts, Philadelphia school district has significantly reduced its arts and music programs and departments [with only 83 cents per child dedicated for arts supplies for the entire year]. In the thirteen years that followed, art funding has decreased by 50 percent affecting museums, community art based programs and other arts institutions.
Reconstruction is essential in order to help our future artists, writers, dancers, musicians and art leaders! The Philadelphia community needs the minds and hearts of influential art leaders like you to speak out about the current the State of Affairs of Arts Culture in the Urban Community.
