Reminder: Contact your State Senator and Representative to restore funding to the MCC, MOTT & key legislative language to the Percent for Art Program
We wish to remind all artists and arts advocates to please contact their State Senator and Representative and urge them to restore full funding to the MCC & MOTT, and to undo the Governor’s changes to the Percent for Art Program.
What to ask them to do:
- Override the Governor’s veto to restore the funding for the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC) back to $14 million (line item 0640-0300).
- Override the Governor’s veto to restore funding for Massachusetts Office of Tourism & Travel (MOTT) back to $14.6 million (line 7008-0900).
- Reverse the Governor’s amendments to the Massachusetts percent for art program (MPAP) – SECTION 28. Chapter 7C of the General Laws – but keep it a statewide program, as the Governor amended it to be.
How to find out who your State Senator and Representative are and how to contact them. (Please call and email them!)
