Support arts funding in DC - sign the arts petition!
DC arts funding has taken two massive hits recently. Funding for the National Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs program was recently cut from 9.5 million to 1 million. DC Advocates for the Arts hopes to change that in FY 13, but they need Mayor Gray to know lots of people care about this issue. Check out the arts petition to Mayor Gray, and forward it to your friends: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/support-art-in-dc/
