Congressional Arts Report Card 2008

Arts Action Fund: Advocates for the arts have a chance to Vote smART on November 4, when candidates
for all 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate will face the voters. This election season provides a watershed opportunity to send to Congress pro-arts lawmakers who realize the value of the arts in fueling creativity and innovation, educating our children, enriching lives, and strengthening communities. Despite the recent gains for cultural funding supported by legislators on both sides of the aisle, the challenge remains to help create a sustainable majority of cultural allies who recognize the impact that relatively modest federal funding has on their districts, states, and the country at large.
