The Arkansas Arts Council's Grant Recipients for 2012

                   Seeing this really made my day. I never did like The Arkansas Arts Council because all they ever do is senselessly give tax payer dollars to any crook that tells them it's for Art but I think that I am finally starting to get through to them because if you'll notice The City of Hot Springs doesn't appear near as much on the roster as it did last year and most of the Organizations you saw there in Hot Springs that got the Grants were Music Organizations so to me that's a step in the right direction. NO MORE TAX PAYER DOLLARS FOR CON-ARTISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
