Our children need your help. Arts Partners needs your voice!
Please help us in securing public funding to support Arts Partners and our efforts to bring arts education to every K-8 student in the region by 2012. When Mayor Potter released his proposed budget for FY09 on April 15, it did not include essential support from the City of Portland to help make this vision a reality. Even if you reside outside city limits, you can express your concern that Portland school children would not have the same meaningful learning opportunities as the students from neighboring communities. Equitable access for all students requires the support of all communities.
Please write to Mayor Potter and the Portland City Commissioners today and tell them that you support investing $200,000 of the city’s $33 million surplus in arts education activities that are proven to enhance our children's education. (That’s 0.6% of the surplus funds available!) We’ll help you write the message, and it only takes two minutes to make a difference.
