Artblog supports the Philadelphia Cultural Fund and you can too. Please email or call Mayor Jim Kenney to show your support for the PCF! Meanwhile, we’ve rounded up several opportunities for artists and two wonderful events happening this Friday and Saturday.
Please write to your Councilperson and to the seven at-large Council Members NOW to advocate for restoring FULL funding for the Philadelphia Cultural Fund in the city’s 2021-22 budget. Voting could start as early as June 17th, so don’t delay! Make your voice heard before the final vote is cast!
Barbara Silzle, Executive Director of The Philadelphia Cultural Fund (PCF), provides context about the management of the proposed $1.3M Illuminate the Arts initiative, as well as a transcript of her testimony at City Council on March 18, 2021, in which she advocates for reinstating PCF’s budget in FY22.
