    Hosted by David Green of The Cultural Alliance Of Fairfield County.
    In our November "Spotlight on Arts & Culture” we took advantage of the season, and of the recent election results, to give thanks - for the support that the arts and culture sector receives from our state legislature, as well as from individual donors, our local businesses and family foundations.
    Guests included two recently re-elected legislators, Lucy Dathan, representing Norwalk and New Canaan, and David Michel representing Stamford. They were joined by Brett Thompson, Executive DIrector of the CT Arts Alliance, the main advocacy body for the arts in Connecticut, and Scott Wands, in Director of Grants & Programs at CT Humanities.
    Guests reviewed how arts, culture and tourism (ACT) are currently funded in CT, what the impact was of recent post-COVID windfall funding, and how together we can create a plan, or Roadmap, to put ACT funding on a more equitable, sustainable and predictable footing in the future.
