Florida to Support Art Initiative

Here is some wonderful art advocacy news for Florida!
So many times in a bad economy the arts are first to go, but Florida has recognized the dollar power of the arts and instead of cutting has decide to support the growth of arts in communities across the state. Here is the site
I love promoting the arts and telling people how arts bring in more money that sports, most people find it hard to believe, but the facts don't lie. I can not tell you how many years I would have schools cut my art budget to ridiculous amounts and still give all the other areas plenty of money. It takes a great deal of education and advocacy to help people understand the value of an arts education for children and the value of arts for a community.
Thank you Yvonne for passing on this news to us.
