Sedona Arts Center — ACTION ALERT – Protect Arts Funding

Send your Message TODAY:
NO MORE CUTS to Arts Funding

As you know, the funding arts organizations and artists receive from the Arizona Commission on the Arts is something we have to fight for at the Arizona Legislature every year. We need your help to keep funding intact in the FY2026 state budget.

Specifically, we need you to contact your legislator and Governor Hobbs TODAY.

If you are a leader of an arts organization, we also need you to engage your volunteers, board members, donors, audiences and patrons in contacting their state elected officials. Often, their voices as constituents of these elected officials are the most persuasive. Please forward this message to them.

We need legislators to vote to secure at least $2 million in ongoing funding in the FY2026 state budget. Lawmakers will probably vote on the budget in the next few days, and they need to hear from you why they must support this amount to avoid a cut to arts funding.

The budget this year for the Arts Commission was $2 million. With proposals to eliminate federal funding for the arts, it is more critical than ever that Arizona legislators vote for an ongoing appropriation for the Arts Commission.

It only takes a couple of minutes – sign up here to automatically create a message for your specific legislators, in addition to the Governor. To add more impact, please personalize the message with your own story of why the arts matter in your community – your LEGISLATOR’S COMMUNITY. It only takes another minute to add that impact.

Thank you for being an arts advocate!
