Help Support the Arts

Sharing an email received from Young At Art but it's relevant to all arts and culture programs.

We need your help to ensure that Florida’s arts and cultural organizations receive the funding they deserve! While some progress has been made, the current state budget recommendations drastically underfund the Cultural and Museum Grant category—leaving hundreds of vital organizations, including Young At Art Museum, without critical support.

Why This Matters: 🎭 Every $1 invested in the arts generates $9 in economic impact. 🎨 In Broward County alone, the arts contribute $386 million annually and sustain nearly 7,000 jobs 🌟 Statewide, arts and culture drive $151 billion in economic activity and support 2.6 million jobs. Cuts to arts funding don’t just limit access to creativity—they impact jobs, education, and economic growth across Florida. Your voice can make a difference!

Take Action in 3 Easy Steps:

1️⃣ Find your State Senator here and House Representative here. 2️⃣ Call or email them to request full funding for arts grants. 3️⃣ Use our template letter here to make it quick and easy! Your advocacy helps keep arts accessible and thriving in our community. Let’s work together to protect the funding that fuels creativity, education, and economic growth across Florida!

Thank you for supporting the arts,
