Delaware’s Joint Finance Committee and General Assembly have the unenviable task of constructing a state budget for Fiscal Year 2018 that balances revenue and expenses, while maximizing services that impact communities, education, and the economy. In response to proposed cuts to state-funded arts programs, the Delaware Arts Alliance has been active in speaking up on behalf of the arts and the role they play in enriching lives through education, downtown development, employment, and producing a positive return on investment.  Learn how you can join in their efforts by contacting the Delaware Arts Alliance.
