I will be introducing a resolution recognizing the month of October 2025 as “Arts and Culture Month” in Pennsylvania. This resolution acknowledges the integral role that arts and culture play in shaping this Commonwealth’s deep history, strengthening our communities, and enriching the lives of all Pennsylvanians.

The creative sector not only provides educational and cultural opportunities, but also contributes significantly to our economy, tourism, and workforce development. By formally recognizing the importance of arts and culture throughout the month of October, we affirm our commitment to supporting the institutions, organizations, and individuals who preserve our history, inspire creativity, and foster civic engagement.

I respectfully invite you to join me in co-sponsoring this resolution to celebrate and uplift the vital contributions of arts and culture in Pennsylvania.
