Editorials lament Kansas arts funding decline after grants cut
An editorial decries the shrinking support for the Kansas arts sector under Gov. Sam Brownback. It notes a 2010 Kansas Arts Commission grant total of nearly 1.6 million to 299 groups across 59 counties, then describes the abolition and later dismantling of the commission into the Kansas Creative Arts Industries Commission. The piece warns that current funding, limited to 58 thousand in grants, risks jeopardizing matching funds and the state’s broader cultural economy, while recalling the commission’s broader role in business development and arts information despite reduced staff and support.
