Arts and culture community hears call to work together on government lobbying
Arts and culture groups must balance their individual needs with those of the entire sector to better lobby for B.C. government support, says the manager of a Vancouver drama company.
“We need to act and speak together,” said Ivan Habel of Green Thumb Theatre.
Habel called for a more co-ordinated approach to advocacy in an address today (June 25) before attendees of the Alliance for Arts and Culture Arts Summit 2010, a two-day series of workshops and panel discussions being held in a Surrey recreation centre.
The comments come as criticism swells over provincial government cuts to B.C. Arts Council funding and the introduction of more strict eligibility requirements for gaming-grant support.
