UPDATE: Our advocacy efforts to stop deep budget cuts for arts and culture at the City have been heard! Thanks to everyone’s united voice, Mayor Kevin Faulconer has proposed an FY19 budget for arts and culture with only a 2% cut to the existing $14.6 million budget. This is a “fair share cut” in line with other city departments – far below the possible 30%+ cut – and one that San Diego Junior Theatre plans to support going forward through budget hearings. Thanks to everyone who made their voice heard via a postcard, email, post or hashtag!
