METRO ARTS ES FINANCIADO EN PARTE POR
Las artes están siendo recortadas de los presupuestos estatales en todo Estados Unidos. En Tennessee, tenemos la suerte de contar con una fuente adicional de financiación. Los ingresos adicionales que recibimos deventa de matrículas especiales y personalizadasha sido clave para financiar las artes en Tennessee. Más del 70 % del dinero utilizado para financiar las más de 800 subvenciones de la Comisión de Artes de Tennessee el año pasado provino de la venta de estas placas especiales.
