We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance.

The short explanation of this alert was:

On May 6, 2009, the Pennsylvania Senate passed its version of the FY 2010 state budget (SB 850) with a 30-20 vote. The bill, introduced on May 4, eliminates all arts and culture grants in the state through the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA) and the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC).

The budget process isn't complete yet, however. This Senate bill now goes with the House of Representatives' proposal into what will likely be a contentious conference committee before its final passage in the General Assembly. The Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance will keep you informed as the budget process continues. In the interim, if you have not yet reached out to your State Senator and Representative, please do so now. It's still important to let them know that you care about cultural funding in Pennsylvania.
