The Pennsylvania House of Representatives has recently adopted a state budget that cuts funding for PCA (the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts) by 70%!

If this bill becomes law, arts organizations throughout Philadelphia and the state will lose millions of dollars of crucial funding.

Governor Corbett supports full funding for PCA.

The Senate votes within days. Senators need to hear: NO CUTS TO PCA. If the Senate holds the line, we stand a chance of saving this valuable agency. Please phone or email your State Senator as soon as possible.
