BC Arts Funding Partly Restored (But It’s Not Enough)

“This year’s budget allocates $46.1-million [Cdn] for the arts, which includes $10-million in funding from a new 2010 Sports and Arts Legacy Fund. According to the budget, this marks a spending increase for arts and culture of just over $4-million from last year. But arts groups are upset that funding wasn’t restored to 2008-09 levels.”
