Anyone interested in art and/or supporting art of most genres is invited, including theater, performance art, poetry, literature, painting, watercolor, painting, etc.

House Bill 264 (HB264) will move Georgia Council for the Arts to the Georgia Dept. of Economic Development
Bill to Move GA Council for the Arts to Economic Development Up for Vote
Please contact your Representative to Support HB 264
Please contact your Representative to Support HB 264
House Bill 264 (HB264) will move Georgia Council for the Arts to the Georgia Dept. of Economic Development and protect GCA's dollar for dollar, multi-year matching grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. This is widely considered to be a positive move for GCA as it acknowledges the multi-million dollar arts & cultural industry of Georgia as an economic engine.
The Senate passed HB264 and now it's up for vote in the House. Please contact your House Representative immediately to urge him or her to support HB264. Then encourage your friends to do the same.
HB73 has been attached as an amendment to HB264. This year, the focus of the HB73 is as a flexible economic development tool for local communities, focused on local option and local control. Atlanta Mayor, Kasim Reed expressed his support of the Bill in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, as has the Georgia Chamber of Commerce and the the Tourism Industry. A coalition of cities, counties, and arts and cultural organizations, known as Georgia Communities for Growth, is pushing for a bill that would give communities unprecedented flexibility for a new revenue stream to fund Arts and Culture as well as other economic drivers.
We need your help ASAP contacting your legislative representative. Two Minutes. That’s all it takes to tell your representative to support HB 264 as amended.
