And with the larger arts' community — where much of their work has ground to a halt — keeping in mind that the Arts makes up 4.5% of total GDP and creates over $877 billion dollars annually in value-added to the United States economy and employs 5.1 million people. Especially as our lawmakers have a due date of 11 Dec for spending bills before adjourning for the holiday.
