The Illinois General Assembly has $5 billion dollars in American Rescue Plan funds left to spend. But, based on recent conversations with legislators, we don’t expect they’ll be making any ARP funding decisions until next session starting in January 2022.
We’ve been advocating for $500 million in ARP funding for the arts, and we’re going to keep meeting with legislators until they make a decision! You can get involved and meet with your legislators by joining your local arts advocacy team.
