The amendments to an earlier Senate Ways &amp; Means Committee plan were authored by Senator Ed Kennedy of Lowell, Co-Chair of the Joint Committee on Tourism, Arts, and Cultural Development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArts and culture are big business in Massachusetts, supporting more than 73,000 full-time jobs, generating more than $2.2 billion in total spending and $100 million in state tax revenue,\u201d Senator Kennedy told his colleagues on the Senate floor. \u201cPrograms funded by the Cultural Council make Massachusetts a desirable place to live, study, and work.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>If it prevails, the Senate budget would represent the highest state appropriation for arts and culture since 2002. That year state cultural funding was $19 million, or nearly $27 million in today\u2019s dollars.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Senate once again demonstrated a strong commitment to arts and culture,\u201d said Anita Walker, Mass Cultural Council Executive Director. \u201cThanks to Senator Kennedy, to Senate President Karen Spilka, Ways &amp; Means Chair Michael Rodrigues and Vice Chair Jason Lewis, and all their colleagues who cosponsored our amendments. They heard the voices of our artists and educators, nonprofit leaders, and local cultural council volunteers, who advocated on behalf of our community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Senate plan for cultural funding is $1.5 million above that of the House of Representatives, which approved its version of the FY20 budget in April. The House also included language that would preclude Mass Cultural Council from using new funds on grants for artists or cultural districts, and effectively prohibit agency staff from providing direct services and technical assistance to organizations and communities outside Boston.<\/p>\n<p>In June, the Legislature will empower a House-Senate conference committee to work out the many differences between the two chambers\u2019 FY20 budget plans. The conference negotiation is the next key step in the annual budget process.
