This just in from the mayor’s office:

Thank you for your email in support of Arts Partners. I apologize for the bulk email reply. In consideration for the strong community support for this program, Mayor Potter will ensure that Arts Partners is included in the Proposed City Budget at the initial request of $150,000.

Arts is an essential part of every child’s education, and we are proud to support Arts Partners. If you have questions or further comments, please feel free to contact me directly.

Sincerely,

Jeremy Van Keuren
Policy Manager, Arts and Culture
Office of Mayor Tom Potter
