|
0022| traditional sources of strength for our families through
|
0023| generations; and
|
0024| WHEREAS, the arts and humanities are the foundations of our

|
0002| reason for tourism in New Mexico; and

0015| economic activity; and
|
0016| WHEREAS, cultural tourism is the fastest growing economic
|

|
0018| leading reason for visiting a community and is especially
|
0019| important throughout New Mexico; and
|
0020| WHEREAS, funding for these federal cultural agencies
|
0021| assures broad access to arts, humanities and cultural activities
|
0022| in rural and urban areas guaranteeing New Mexicans, regardless
|
0023| of income, the opportunity to participate and seek their
|
0024| livelihood in cultural activities; and
|
0025| WHEREAS, each year programs and services produced by
|

|
