DAA Executive Director Neil Kirschling traveled to Washington DC on Monday October 16th to meet with Senator Tom Carper and his team, the staff of Senator Chris Coons, and the staff of Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester
.
…to discuss a range of topics including increased funding for National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities, arts education funding, Creative Economy supports, and tax policy. Our Delaware Congressional delegation, in addition to being arts patrons and champions themselves, cares about and works on policies to support tourism, health and wellness, workforce development, veteran’s affairs, and small businesses.
We discussed how the arts intersect with all these areas!
