Over the years, I remember some very devastating and painful US government arts funding cuts - from the National Endowment for the Arts to Massachusetts State Arts Council. Arts advocates have always fought back.
Here's a social media infused campaign to fight 100% arts budget cut in Ottawa, Canada. You can learn more here.
What a fantastic ad! Thanks for posting it.

This is excellent, Beth. I almost wonder if the video was also shown on TV, and if not why not.

Beth,
I remember that cuts in Massachusetts (my son's Mom worked there for 7 years under Mary Kelly). It's amazing how often the business value of the arts is overlooked.
