INDIANA---Yesterday, the Indiana Coalition for the Arts "encouraged 'Arts Day' participants to petition legislators to oppose HJR-3" wrote to Michael Anthony Adams of The Indianapolis Star. It must have been a surreal experience for legislators who have previously witnessed young women in ballerina outfits helping to lobby for increased arts funding, to instead be bombarded by freedom activists, religious extremists, and then by the arts community too. The Indiana Coalition for the Arts is a Bloomington-based arts advocacy group, which last year successfully lobbied for $325,000 in increased public funding, and for now it looks like they may have won again.
