Vote Arts Alberta!
The Alberta Foundation for the Arts provides funding to Alberta artists and arts organizations to ensure the arts can be accessed by every Albertan. Yet its budget has been cut by 27% - almost $10 million - since 2009. This needs to be reversed, as government funding is essential for the arts to survive and thrive!
If you agree that the arts in Alberta are worth supporting, join us in calling for party leaders to pledge to double the AFA budget over three years (to an amount that is still less than one tenth of one percent of Alberta’s budget!) Let politicians know that you support the arts in Alberta, and that the arts matter to voters. This letter will be sent to the leaders of every party when you complete your details.
On behalf of more than 46,000 artists and people working in the arts in Alberta, thank you.
VoteArtsAB is nonpartisan effort led by Rozsa Foundation and The Nonprofit Vote. The campaign and materials are not intended to endorse or oppose candidates or political parties. Upon filling the letter form, your letter will be sent to the leaders of Alberta’s provincial parties. You can use the letter provided or customize it as you see fit.
