Arts advocates were in Lansing this week, but not to protest Governor Rick Snyder’s budget proposal. They were there to talk about how the arts can help re-invent Michigan.
Ken Fisher is president of the University Musical Society. He says he has faith in Governor Snyder's commitment to the arts:
"He supported music and culture in Ann Arbor, he’s got kids that play the trumpet, and I just hope he’ll see the opportunity that the arts have to really be a partner to his plan."
Snyder’s budget proposal calls for no cuts to current state arts funding.
