State of the Arts in Cobb County
Britt, Brian | February 14, 1994 issue

add to cart   close window

During the big debate in the U.S. Congress over funding for the National Endowment for the Arts, when Jesse Helms was dementedly brandishing homoerotic photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe in the well of the Senate, conservatives proposed that federal arts funding be cut off entirely. Nine arts organizations lost funding because of the cut, and all were compelled to reduce community programs, including such subversive institutions as the Cobb Children's Theater, the Cobb Youth Chorus and the Cobb Youth Museum. The Cobb Symphony Orchestra, which lost more than $12,000, canceled plans for a children's concert series.
