Raise arts, culture & media spending

We're spending just $187 per person on arts, culture and media, while our peers across the world are putting in $278—33% more than we are. That’s not just chump change; it’s a third of what they invest, and we’re falling behind. We’re not asking for some wild increase, just to get to $270 per person—enough to meet the rest of the world and stop making our communities look like a cultural backwater.
