📣Call to Action: Ask the Governor to approve the budget for FY2027!

The final budget for FY27 that is being forwarded to Governor Kehoe allocates $675,000 for the Missouri Fine Arts & Scholars Academies at and $7.2 million for the Missouri Arts Council. Although there may be disappointment that the allocation has not returned to the levels considered "core" funding, we wish to underscore the importance of maintaining public funding for these vital segments of Missouri's economy and culture, and ask the Governor the approve the budget.

Be respectful. Be direct. Be clear.

Explain how the arts funding impacts your community - school - business - family.
