In this episode of Technology in the Arts, Jason takes a break so the Center for Arts Management and Technology’s Josh Futrell can vent. He’s furious that the Pennsylvania Senate voted 30-20 in favor of a budget that includes ZERO dollars for arts and culture funding. Again... that’s ZERO dollars. Hey Senators... we're mad as hell, and we're coming for you!
