Percent for Art Program Escapes Budget Axe

Arts program will keep current level of funding for now.

Ann Arbor's 'percent for art' program has again escaped a proposal to reduce funding to a half percent.   City council voted unanimously Monday night to approve an amendment to the public art ordinance, but only after two big changes to the program were removed.  Hear more from WEMU's Andrew Cluley.

 

Like many, I first came to this area when I started school at the University of Michigan, then fell in love with the community and haven’t left. After graduating from U of M in the mid 1990’s I interned at WDET for several years, while also working a variety of jobs in Ann Arbor. Then in 1999 I joined the WEMU news team.
