What You Can Do Right Now for the Arts in Kansas

fwks

Governor Brownback has suggested eliminating the Kansas Arts Commission as a state agency – which is not in the best interest of the state of Kansas, of our economy or of the jobs that the arts support in all of our communities.

Kansas nonprofit arts and cultural sector is a $153.5 million industry, supporting over 4,000 full-time equivalent jobs and generating over $15 million in state and local government revenues. Per capita, more Kansans engage in the personal creation of art than any other state in the union. 

We are very proud of that. Governor Brownback must see the Arts as frilly, optional things. We disagree.

Kansas Citizens for the Arts has set up a tool to contact your legislators. We want you to contact one legislator. That’s it. If you want to contact more, that’s up to you, but it’s important to contact at least one. Go to it. And let us know if you hear back from someone.
