TPAC Faces 75% Cut in Funding
The City Manager's first draft budget presented to Mayor and Council last Tuesday proposes $100,000 in funding for TPAC for the coming fiscal year, a 75% cut from the current year. (These suggested cuts already follow a 32% decrease per capita in local public sector arts funding since 2007.) If the proposed budget is approved, per capita funding in Tucson and Pima County will not even total 1% of that devoted by most American cities and counties to the arts.
We'll be asking everyone who believes that the arts are integral to Southern Arizona's identity and well-being to speak up on their behalf. Stayed tuned!
