Daily News | Most Philly mayoral candidates want to create a dedicated revenue stream for arts and culture funding
bring a range of talents to the table, but they’re not a particularly musical bunch.
Arts and cultural activities contribute $3.6 billion to the Philadelphia economy. City funding for creative organizations became a major issue in 2020 when Mayor Jim Kenney proposed dramatic funding cuts when coronavirus-related shutdowns crippled the city budget a year before significant federal pandemic aid arrived.
Green, a former Council member, called for an independent agency modeled after the D.C. Commission on the Arts & Humanities in Washington. Domb said he would double the city’s current level of funding because arts and cultural institutions are economic engines for the city, bringing back $5 in commercial activity for every $1 spent, he said.
Gym said she would look at the amusement tax and raising the hotel tax as potential avenues for a dedicated funding stream, but emphasized that the next mayor should lean on the corporate and nonprofit sectors for support as well.
