“Those three agencies - #NEA #NEH #IMLS - really are at the heart of ensuring our #arts, culture heritage is both preserved and celebrated. And so the removal of those three agencies, either partially or wholly, moving forward, will be utterly devastating.” - Dana Knapp, ArtsKC #Missouri #humanities

Catching a tremendous performance of Journey to Valhalla at the Lyric Opera for my birthday. ArtsKC has an excellent new program called The Drop that offers discounted tickets to arts events, without which there's no way I could have afforded to experience this. Very grateful. 🥰

I went to an ArtsKC pre-world cup meeting ages ago and realized the number of times they used the word 'exposure' and hearing people from arts groups ask about crowd sizes I knew it was BS. When Americans travel to a football game in Munich, how many are going to support local businesses there?
