Greetings!
Do you like David Letterman's Top 10? Here's a great top-10 list about the arts, making the case for continued public funding for the arts. Now that we are gearing up for fiscal year 2012's budget cuts again, I hope you will find it energizing and will enjoy it almost as much as Letterman's!
Warm regards,
Rhyena Halpern, Executive Director
Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission
