Your advocacy is making a real impact.

Late last week, the Senate Legacy Committee released and passed out of committee its update to the Legacy bill, and thanks to your efforts, senators upheld the 47% allocation for the Minnesota State Arts Board (MSAB) and Regional Arts Council (RAC) system. This decision aligns with Governor Walz’s recent budget recommendation, reinforcing the state’s commitment to investing in a thriving arts community.

This victory is a direct result of your engagement, your voices, and the incredible turnout for Arts Advocacy Day. Legislators heard from artists, arts leaders, and advocates like you—and they listened.

But we’re not done yet.

The House Legacy bill is up next, and we need to ensure it reflects the same strong support for the arts. MCA is closely monitoring the process and will keep you informed on opportunities to take action.

Your MCA membership makes this work possible. Together, we are protecting and strengthening arts funding in Minnesota.

Thank you for being a part of this movement—let’s keep the momentum going!
