There will be one! And the Cultural Fund will be increased by $2M.
We don’t know exactly what this means but we’re continuing to read the budget to see if we can find out.
Thanks to Heard in the Hall for news and a link to the Mayor’s 2009-2013 Budget. If you download and read the budget (it’s also downloadable from phila.gov) start with the Transmittal Letter and don’t miss the bullet point on page i that says: Create an Office of Arts and Culture and increase funding to the Cultural Fund by $2 million.
