Plenary: How Alaska Came Back
Alaska State Council on the Arts (ASCA) Chairman Benjamin Brown and Executive Director Andrea Noble shared their experiences of the defunding and triumphant return of the state arts agency. In July we learned of the Alaska governor’s line item veto of the full fiscal year 2020 budget for ASCA. In a testament to the power of advocacy, the agency’s full budget was restored in August in a supplemental budget bill and left intact by the governor. Our colleagues told of navigating troubling waters this summer, and we saluted their success.
