(Zak Bennett/Courtesy) Symphony of the Americas artistic director and conductor Pablo Mielgo with soprano Kyaunnee Richardson on Dec. 6, 2022. The symphony is one of many arts organizations working to fill a funding shortfall after Gov. Ron DeSantis eliminated the state arts and cultural grant program for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024.

More than 200 art and cultural organizations in Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties — including prominent and little-known museums, choruses, theaters — are losing more than $12 million in state money.
Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoed cultural and museum grants and money from the cultural facilities program from the state budget.
The Florida Cultural Alliance, which includes many state art and cultural organizations, provided the name and the amount of money that was cut for each entity. Most were in cultural and museum grants. Those marked with an asterisk * were from the facilities program.
