Artsy fartsy

The National Endowment for the Arts did what some warned and denied a $1 million matching grant to Kansas to support local arts programs, because the state eliminated its arts agency.

Meanwhile, our local arts council will either have to beg for more money to keep up their programs or cut something. They already have done amazing private funding to restore the Burford (I'm a former board member) and can only ask for so much .....
