Western CT legislators advocate state funding for Cultural Alliance of Western CT Recognizing the Cultural Alliance of Western Connecticut as a leader in promoting and advocating for arts, history, and culture as a primary driver of the economy in Northern Fairfield and Southern Litchfield Counties, members of the Western Connecticut legislative delegation have proposed a bill in the General Assembly to provide support to the Cultural Alliance. Through the expansion of the State’s current arts grants to include the Cultural Alliance, the act would appropriate $79,000, administered through the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development, and effectively open the doors for the Cultural Alliance to be recognized annually as a Connecticut state budget line item.
