Metro Resolution Would Would Approve and Match $50,500 Arts Grant for Community Projects

A resolution coming before Metro Council on Tuesday would generate over $100,000 for granting purposes above and beyond the already allocated $2.25 million in the Arts Commission's budget. According to the Metro Council Office:
[The resolution] approves a state arts commission grant in the amount of $50,585 for the Arts Build Communities program. These funds will be used to make grants to non-profit organizations for community arts projects .... There is a required local match in the amount of $50,585 to be provided from the Metro arts commission budget.
Assuming that this resolution passes, the possibility of applying for grants is something to keep in mind for those neighborhoods whose groups are working on streetscape projects.
