RICHMOND, VA -- Virginians for the Arts recently conducted a survey of candidates running for office in the November 2009 general election.
Questions included the following:
--- Do you support increasing the present appropriation for grants made to arts organizations throughout Virginia by the Virginia Commission for the Arts in the 2010-12 biennial budget?
--- Do you support the goal of providing $1 per capita in funding for grants to arts organizations, as endorsed by the General Assembly each year since 1997?
--- If no increases in Virginia Commission for the Arts grant funding are included in the Governor's proposed 2010-12 budget, will you support legislative budget amendments that would achieve the dollar-per-capita goal during the 2010-12 biennium?
