Thank you for your continued support. Your voices are being heard. Councilman At-Large David Oh introduced a resolution regarding the Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy at Thursday morning's, 5/21, stated city council meeting. The resolution passed and was adopted. The resolution is meant to keep the office open while council works on the budget, and hopefully finds a way to keep it in the budget.

"Calling on the Kenney Administration to delay the elimination of the Office of Arts, Culture, and the Creative Economy, including its workforce, and the Philadelphia Cultural Fund, the principal supporters for the City's $3.4 billion creative arts industry, generating annual tax revenue of $157 million, until Council completes the City's fiscal year 2021 Budget and Recovery Plan for the COVID-19 pandemic."
