We want to encourage you to turn out for the Rally for the Arts on Wednesday, May 11 at 11:30 – 1:30 at City Hall. The Mayor’s budget cuts enacted over the last two years and proposed for 2023 demonstrate the Mayor’s lack of understanding of the importance of the arts. Rally for more funding for the arts in the city budget! In other news, Amber Arts and Design and Connect the Dots will help citizens engage with the police HQ, the Roundhouse, and how best to treat the building going forward when the police move. Plus opportunities, including a big-budget Percent for Art project for PHL International! Finally, we urge you to watch a documentary on Melissa Lucio, whose execution has been stayed by a Texas court.
