Connecticut Arts, Culture, and Tourism Funding Roadmap
Leading the way to meaningful, reliable, and equitable state funding
It’s time for the arts, culture and tourism (ACT) communities in Connecticut to have more meaningful, reliable, and equitable state funding. That’s what the ACT Funding Roadmap is all about. Partnering with advocates across the state, we’re asking the legislature to invest $58.5 million per year to ensure our communities have the resources to thrive. Our goal is simple: better funding for arts, culture and tourism in our state!
We’ve worked with key legislators to introduce House Bill 6321, AN ACT CONCERNING INCREASED INVESTMENT IN ARTS, CULTURE AND TOURISM, to support the goals of the Roadmap. We’ll need your help to gain passage of the bill as the session progresses. Learn more and stay in touch by visiting the Roadmap website HERE.
The Arts, Culture and Tourism Funding Roadmap project is a partnership of Connecticut Arts Alliance, Connecticut Humanities, and Connecticut Tourism Coalition in collaboration with regional and statewide arts, culture, and tourism organizations.
