That represents a proposed cut of roughly 13 percent from the agency\u2019s current state appropriation of $14 million. House leaders rejected an <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mass-creative.org\/fy18housecosponsors\">amendment cosponsored by more than 100 state Representatives<\/a><\/span> to instead increase arts and cultural funding to $16 million, which Mass Cultural Council and its allies sought. In the end, the House budget passed by a 159-1 vote.<\/p>\n<p>If maintained through the budget process, that $2 million cut would reverse gains made in recent years to restore state cultural funding that has barely recovered from the last recession, forcing the agency to cut grants in its key programs. A similar proposal last year was reversed in the Senate, ensuring level funding for the arts, humanities, and sciences from the prior year at $14 million.<\/p>\n<p>Mass Cultural Council Executive Director Anita Walker thanked the House members who signed onto the unsuccessful amendment. And she thanked the thousands of artists, cultural leaders, educators, and others who made the case for cultural funding through an advocacy campaign led by <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mass-creative.org\">MASSCreative<\/a><\/span>, and supported by <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/masshumanities.org\">Mass Humanities<\/a><\/span>, the <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/artistsunderthedome.org\/malc\/\">Mass Artists Leaders Coalition<\/a><\/span>, and others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIncreased state investment is the surest way to truly leverage the economic, social, and educational potential of the nonprofit cultural sector,\u201d said Walker. \u201cWe\u2019ll continue to make our case in the Senate because we recognize the essential role that a rich cultural life plays in communities and the lives of our residents. To invest in our cultural life is to invest in our shared future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A $16 million state appropriation would allow Mass Cultural Council to restore vital grants to nonprofit cultural organizations, communities, school and youth programs, and artist fellowships, said Walker. And those investments will yield greater returns to the state through new revenues from cultural tourism, more vibrant communities, and more a creative, resourceful workforce.<\/p>\n<p>The House vote is one key step in the annual <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/malegislature.gov\/Budget\/Process\">state budget process<\/a><\/span>. The Senate Ways &amp; Means Committee will release its own budget proposal in two to three weeks.
