There are four amendments we believe are necessary to ensure further protection and relief for the arts and cultural community:

•#111 – filed by Tourism, Arts and Cultural Development Chair McMurty, which increases the fund for arts and cultural virtual promotion to $10 million and includes all arts and cultural nonprofit organizations in the grant program.

•#254 – filed by Tourism, Arts and Cultural Development Chair McMurty, which authorizes $20 million to the Cultural Facilities Fund for necessary COVID-19 related capital expenses to keep arts and culture patriots, staff and artists safe.

•#78 – filed by Rep. Biele, which creates a live theater tax credit pilot program that would support the recovery of presenting arts venues and get artists, technicians, front of house and artisans back to work.

•#140 – filed by Rep Chan, which extends the motion picture industry tax credit that is essential to protecting Massachusetts’ fim industry.
