UPDATE: Thanks to all who wrote to the Governor – that was the beginning of the process. It was never a guarantee that the amount recommended by the Department of Commerce would be fully funded – the Governor’s budget funded only half of the 32 projects recommended. Now we are at the next step. On the behalf of the remaining projects to be funded (including HPIC at number 26 on the list), we are asking our legislators to push for full funding for Building for the Arts. Please help us advocate – here are draft templates for each of the legislators. Please personalize and tell our representatives and senator why HPIC is so important to the community and must be rebuilt.

Thank you for your support of HPIC and all the other statewide organizations who’ve been selected to receive this funding, and for the Building for the Arts program itself.
