Alliance for Arts and Culture fights back with statement on gaming funding changes
The Alliance for Arts and Culture is lashing back at Housing and Social Development Minister Rich Coleman, who is set to cut arts festivals and others out of gaming funding.
Last week, the minister was quoted saying the arts technically should be able make a profit through ticket sales and don’t qualify as true charities. And as the Straight has reported, there has been widespread confusion about his ministry’s abrupt changes to eligibility to those gaming funds, which local groups had relied on, specifically the cancelling of that money for arts festivals and some youth-oriented arts groups.
