Thank you Jean Blackwell Font your message was clear and well heard. It was a great victory for the Miami-Dade arts community. We need arts and culture to thrive as a community and economically.

We hope you’re all still riding the high of our incredible victory for the arts community! While we didn’t restore 100% of the funding, securing $1.5 million of the $2.5 million at risk is a huge accomplishment! 🙌 While we celebrate this win, we still have work to do. Let’s keep up the momentum by staying engaged and building strong relationships with our local officials. Together, we can ensure ongoing support for the arts. 🎨 How You Can Help: Send a Thank-You Email 📧 Let’s show gratitude to the mayor and county commissioners who stood with us. A simple thank-you can go a long way in reinforcing their support for the arts. (Template below!) Stay Engaged 💪 Keep advocating for arts funding. Attend future hearings, share the importance of the arts, and continue to champion our cause. Invite Your District Commissioners to Your Events 🎟️ This is a perfect opportunity to engage our leaders with the arts community!

Together, we’re keeping the arts alive! We are SO PROUD of our arts community for coming together and literally showing up to make change happen. You all should be as proud as we are – your voices AND presence made a real difference! 💪🎨 #ARTSVICTORY #ARTSACTIONALLIANCE #ARTSFUNDING #THANKYOU #MIAMIDADEARTS

🚨 ATTENTION ARTS COMMUNITY: URGENT UPDATE 🚨 We’ve heard that $1 MILLION may be restored to the county budget, BUT $1.5 MILLION is still on the line. This funding is critical, especially after the devastating cuts from the State to arts funding this year. We cannot afford to lose another dollar! WE STILL NEED YOU. Today is the final budget hearing and we need to make our voices heard now more than ever. Every dollar counts to keep our programs running, our doors open, and the arts thriving in our community. SHOW UP TODAY at the Stephen P. Clark Government Center – we need the presence and support of the community. #ARTSADVOCACY #SAVETHEARTS #ARTSACTIONALLIANCE #MIAMIDADEARTS #ARTSFUNDING
