Funding Arts & Humanities During an Economic Downturn

We examine whether arts and humanities programs can escape the budgetary cuts in Virginia and Maryland.

Lawmakers around our region are confronting tough budgetary decisions. We examine where arts and humanities programs in Maryland and Virginia fit into these spending dilemmas, and whether those programs can escape the budget cuts that seem all but certain.

Guests

Executive Director, Maryland State Arts Council
