Volusia Pride Statement on Volusia County Council’s Decision to Withhold Cultural Arts Funding
Volusia Pride is disappointed, concerned, and devastated by the actions taken by the Volusia County Council on October 7th, 2025, to withhold cultural arts funding from 33 community organizations because a mere two of them, the Athens Theatre and Shoestring Theatre, have previously rented space to our organization. In fact, we ask you to take a moment to reflect on just how disturbing this turn of events truly is.
