Arts and Culture: Democrats are proud of our support for arts funding and education. We are committed to continuing the policies and programs that have already done so much for our creative arts industry and economy. Investment in the arts strengthens our communities and contributes to our nation's rich cultural heritage. We will continue to support public funding for the National Endowment for the Arts, for the National Endowment for the Humanities, and for programs providing art and music education in primary and secondary schools. The entire nation prospers when we protect and promote the unique and original artistic and cultural contributions of the women and men who create and preserve our nation's heritage.
There are still a few days left in National Arts and Humanities Month, and in the final week before Election Day, this is a great time to reach out to candidate on all levels. Use Arts Wisconsin's Arts Action Resource Guide to connect with your candidates, and read President Obama's National Arts and Humanities Month proclamation here.
It’s every citizen’s right and duty to vote. Please VOTE on or before Tuesday, November 6!
