THE WICHITA EAGLE
By Brent D. Wistrom
KANSAS---Nearly two years after Gov. Sam Brownback eliminated cultural arts funding from the state of Kansas, the state is starting to provide some modest grants to groups. This week for example, the Department of Commerce is expected to announce $58,400 in grants, such as $10,000 to renovate an old depot into a performance and living space for resident artists at the Bartlett Arboretum in Belle Plaine. But it’s just a trickle of what the state used to provide. Brownback vetoed $700,000 of cultural arts funding in 2011. That triggered the loss of about $1.2 million in grants that hinged on the state showing that it was investing in the arts, too. [link]
