Darrell Grant, a renowned artist and advocate in Oregon, highlights the urgent need for increased public funding for the arts. Amid disappointing state support rankings, he co-authored a letter, signed by over 200 artists, to lawmakers urging them to support Bill HB 3189, aimed at improving state funding access for arts organizations. Despite a busy schedule, Grant’s passionate advocacy included a personal delivery that combined music and eloquence, demonstrating his commitment to arts funding and inspiring fellow advocates while articulating the emotional impact of federal funding cuts on the arts community.
Artists, art institutions, and everyday Americans are experiencing shock and deep anger at the actions of the current administration regarding federal funding for arts and culture.
Grant crafted an eloquent letter making the case for arts funding, and delivered it in person, garnishing the advocacy with a little jazz.
