In Louisiana Gov’s Budget, Arts Suffer The Harshest Cuts

Under Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s proposed budget, the “Louisiana Decentralized Arts Fund, a competitive program that makes small grants ranging from $500 to $10,000 to arts and cultural projects in every parish of the state … would be whacked a whopping 83% — effectively putting the program out of business. The arts, not health and education, are taking the largest cuts by a factor of 10.”
