RACC faces $300,000 slash in budget * Oregon ArtsWatch
Briefly

Multnomah County's proposed budget amendments threaten to cut $300,000 in funding for the Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC), prompting urgent community appeals for support. RACC insists that this funding is crucial for sustaining arts organizations that contribute to economic growth and community well-being. The proposed cuts would jeopardize vital cultural programs and career development initiatives across the county. RACC urges residents to contact County Commissioners, submit testimonies, and attend the upcoming Budget Adoption Hearing to advocate for the preservation of arts funding.
The County's $300,000 investment yields outsized returns - returns that cannot be replaced if these funds are cut.
We are writing to you with urgency: two proposed amendments...would eliminate $300,000 in general funding support for your Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC).
