The Arts Council was awarded National Endowment for the Arts funds from the American Rescue Plan to support the nonprofit arts sector in response to and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, with an additional effort to support projects in rural counties of the CSRA. These funds will help restore our local community’s cultural infrastructure, benefitting arts workers, artists, and audiences within the CSRA.
The NEA’s significant investment in local arts agencies, including The Greater Augusta Arts Council, is a key element in helping the arts and culture sector recover and reopen, while ensuring that that American Rescue Plan funding is distributed equitably. Grant applications will be reviewed by impartial Review Panels. For more information about the grants contact Denise Tucker or Pax Bobrow at 706-826-4702 or email [email protected].
