A message from Matt Wilson, Executive Director of MASSCreative.
As a supporter of the creative community, you know that arts and culture aren't just nice, but a necessary part of everyday life — something that helps us build communities where we want to live, work, play, and raise our kids.
Right now, Governor Charlie Baker is planning his first budget for the Commonwealth, which will lay out his priorities for the state. Let's make sure that Governor Baker provides the arts and cultural community with the support it needs to build vibrant and connected communities across the Commonwealth.
Tell Governor Baker that you want a strong arts and culture budget in 2015.
As you know, robust public funding for the arts is not a new concept in Massachusetts. Over the past two years, the creative community has increased state investment in arts and culture by 25%. Even so, arts and cultural funding has dropped by more than half, from $27 million in 1988 to $12 million in 2014.
We have a long way to go before we get to where we need to be. But we can get there by building on the success of the last two years.
Tell Governor Baker: Keep arts and culture strong in the state budget.
Over the next four years, we will work to restore public investment in the arts back to where it was two decades ago. Join us in urging Governor Baker to increase investment in the creative community and boost the FY2016 Massachusetts Cultural Council budget by $3 million to $15 million.
Sign the petition to Governor Baker.
