Help Save PA’s Cultural Funding

Recent developments in Harrisburg have once again put Arts & Culture on the chopping block, and we need your help if we’re to save the state’s grant funding program.

As you know, despite growing tax revenues, the Commonwealth still has a budget shortfall. Over the past six months, the Cultural Alliance has been working hard to protect the remaining arts and cultural funding in the budget and to ensure that attempts to make up the shortfall do not hit culture disproportionately. On March 8th that effort paid off when Governor Corbett announced a budget that, despite some tough cuts, maintained level funding for the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.

Avenue of the Arts Gets French

By Francesca Lo Basso

When I think of them – the decadent, the nonchalant, the insouciant, the French – I perpetually see them seated in street-corner cafés, hands delicately wrapped around porcelain tea cups as wisps of cigarette smoke curl, serpentine, around elaborate headdresses and charcoal-colored fedoras.

To me, the French are the human personification of romance.

So I find it fitting that the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts (PIFA), a celebration of art, inspiration, power, grace, emotion and passion – the very definition of the romantic – is based on the artistic experimentation and innovation happening in Paris from 1910-1920.
