June 12, 2010:   The adjustments to the FY 2010 and FY 2011 budget signed by Governor Lynch last week leaves the NH Film and TV Office intact and only includes a $45,000 cut to the State Arts Council.  These cuts are significant but manageable in these challenging economic times.

Being in touch with our legislators is important.   If you contacted your legislators in reference to arts funding, please thank them now for their hard work.  Please also thank Representative Marjorie Smith and Senator Sylvia Larsen for their steadfast support of the arts.
