Philadelphia City Council did not approve a budget amendment that sought to restore the Office of Arts, Culture, and the Creative Economy and the Philadelphia Cultural Fund. It would also increase funding to Parks and Recreation, the Free Library, African American Museum, Greater Philadelphia Film Office, and Citizen Diplomacy International.

In a late night virtual session Wednesday night, Councilmembers' 'No's' outnumbered the 'Yay's' when Councilman At-Large David Oh presented the budget amendment. The new budget has to be signed by June 30.

UPDATE: The approved budget does include some funding for Arts and Culture. "$1.35 million in funding slated for elimination due to COVID-19's impact has been restored, through the Cultural Fund and African-American Museum."
