Nova Scotia cut arts funding by 32%.
The 2026-27 budget slashes $14M from arts and culture—closing museums, killing or gutting 72 programs, and putting nearly 14,000 culture jobs at risk. Musicians, theatres, festivals—all on the chopping block. Tell your MLA to reverse course.
Why this matters
Nova Scotia's culture sector contributes $1.18 billion to GDP annually and grew 8% over three years—double the rate of the overall economy. Nearly 14,000 Nova Scotians work in culture. When the province invested in film & TV, it thrived. The same opportunity exists for music, theatre, festivals, and the broader creative sector—but these cuts are taking us backward.
