Gov abolishes Kansas Arts Commission in reorg
Gov. Brownback’s executive order abolishes the Kansas Arts Commission effective July 1, shifting art programs to the Kansas Historical Society and forming a private foundation. The FY2012 proposed budget would fund $200,000 to aid the transition, saving nearly $600,000 from the general fund, potentially reducing funds for Garden City Arts and Southwest Kansas Live on Stage.
