Dan Bischoff calls ArtReach a "hallowed tradition" in his review: The Star Ledger, Friday, June 13, 2008.

New Jersey proposes to cut cultural funding by 30%. Please tell your elected officials how critical the arts are to our kids' education, building our communities, teaching creative thinking, and giving us all a voice. There is no better return on investment even in the most difficult economic times: New Jersey's cultural organizations and audiences contribute over $2 billion to our state economy and over $50 million in state tax revenues--and arts funding comes from a dedicated tourist tax (which hasn't been cut)!

Protect artist rights. Write your federal representatives to protest the weakening of copyrights in "The Orphan Works Act of 2008" (more info here) and support fair values for artist donations in the "Senate Artist Deduction Bill" (more info here).
