    State Arts Commission and Foundation official clarifies her role

    0
    By KMAN Staff on October 19, 2011 Local News, The Blog

    The Kansas Arts Foundation President, and the Chair of the Kansas Arts Commission, Linda Weis of Manhattan, spoke with KMAN earlier this week and wanted to clear up a bit of confusion regarding the two entities. The Foundation is a public charity and the Commission is a state agency.

    The Foundation and the Commission spoke with state legislators recently on the topic of funding.

    Meanwhile, Weis reminds us a proposal was originally made by the Governor and sent to legislators, that the work of the Arts Commission would go to the Kansas State Historical Society, a state agency, and eligible for matching funds with the federal government. That proposal was overturned by the legislature so the Arts Commission ended up with nothing, instead of the $200,000 the Governor originally proposed.

    Weis says the Foundation will soon have its own website up and running; in the meantime, please visit their facebook page.
