Subject: Funding for Art Museums Comment: Dear Representative Trey Gowdy, Hello! My name is Dr. Smith, and I’m a curator at the Columbia Museum of Art. South Carolina has a rich artistic history, and I think the state government should take more steps to preserve art now for future generations. Have you considered increasing the state funding for art museums? If not, would you be interested in a museum tour to discuss the importance of art preservation? Best, Dr. Henry Smith
