But Hey, As Long As The Pariots Got Their New Stadium... Arts advocates in Massachusetts have staged a rally at the state capitol to demand that the state's arts council be restored to full funding after two years of draconian cuts. Massachusetts's annual spending on the arts has dropped 56% since 2001, as lawmakers struggled to balance the budget. Meanwhile, demand for state grants is way up, with local arts councils receiving proposals totalling four times the amount of money available.
