| | ARTS ORGANIZATIONS ENCOURAGE TOWN LEADERSHIP TO SUPPORT THE ARTS
Economic help for the arts community could be on its way, but it needs your help! The American Rescue Plan is sending funding directly to Connecticut towns for their leadership to use in ways that work best for their circumstances. The Connecticut Art Alliance is asking towns to reserve 1% for the arts, and either grant funds directly to the creative community or team up with a regional arts council or community foundation to distribute. Download this letter and send it to your town’s leadership along with a personalized note explaining why this funding is so important to you and your town. For general talking points to guide your personal message, visit our Art is Part Talking Points. |
