Restore arts funding in B.C.

What can you get for a buck? About $1.36

Other provinces have increased their investment in the arts since the recession. Why? Because that investment yields dividends as well as art. Money in the bank.

The BC government's own research says that for ever $1 invested in culture, the payback is about $1.36. So why are the Liberals saying they cut their investment in the arts by some 90% in the upcoming budget?

It doesn't add up Vancouver Sun columnist Miro Cernetig recently wrote.

Conspiracy board president Charles Campbell dug into this issue for the Tyee. Even federal Tory culture minister James Moore thinks the BC Liberals' cuts are crazy.

If you haven't already fired off a letter to BC's culture minister, premier and your MLA. You can easily do it through the Alliance for Arts website
