THE
LATEST ON THE ISSUES, TRENDS AND IDEAS
- Congressional
Report Card: The Arts Action Fund, created in October
2004 by Americans for the Arts, the leading nonprofit organization
for advancing the arts in America, issued its first-ever Congressional
Arts Report Card. The Report Card, which covers the 108th Congress
(2003-2004), addresses only the U.S. House of Representatives,
since the U.S. Senate has taken no arts-specific votes during
that period.
- Sign

industries are properly documented.
