Though Artlink’s advocacy work focuses on Phoenix, statewide funding for the Arizona Commission on the Arts is vital to Arizona’s entire creative ecosystem—which is why we’re sharing this important advocacy alert.

State Arts Advocacy Alert

Arizona lawmakers are negotiating the FY2027 budget now. Tell your state legislators to vote YES only if it includes at least $2 million in ongoing funding for the Arizona Commission on the Arts.

Hundreds of advocates spoke up two weeks ago, and lawmakers responded. Your voice can make a difference again.

It only takes a minute: click here to send a message to your three state legislators. Personal messages from constituents have the greatest impact.
