In the Arts: Stars Lobby for Arts Spending, Governor Slashes La. Arts Funding
The lobbying group Americans for the Arts will ask Congress today to increase the National Endowment for the Arts’ annual allocation from $155-million to a record $200-million, reports The New York Times.
The singers Linda Ronstadt and Josh Groban and the trumpeter Wynton Marsalis are scheduled to testify before a House subcommittee as part of the campaign.
In other arts news, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has proposed eliminating most spending on the state’s Decentralized Arts Fund, which makes small grants to arts and culture projects, the Los Angeles Times reports. The Republican governor’s proposed state budget cuts the fund’s allocation by 83 percent.
