On May 11, the PA House Appropriations Committee passed an
amendment to the budget bill that includes:

• Cut of over 70% to the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA) line item.
• Grants to arts organizations were cut to $2.5 million
• PCA administration line item was reduced to $500,000

This action would have a devestating impact on many arts organizations.

• The nonprofit arts industry in PA supports 62,000 full-time equivalent jobs annually
which would be severely reduced by the proposed cut to arts grants.

• PA nonprofit arts organizations generate almost $2 billion in economic activity each year.

Your voice matters!

Please contact your legislators NOW - ask for restoration of the line
items for the PCA to levels recommended by Governor Corbett in his budget.
