Grant Awards
Rescheduled for July 28
Arts Place announces that The Region Five Grant
Awards Reception and Ceremony at Arts Place is being
rescheduled for Tuesday, July 28, 2009 at 5:00 p.m.
Arts Place, Inc.,
as the Region Five Partner of the
Indiana Arts Commission hosts an award ceremony
each year announcing the
Region Five Grant Awards
for Arts Organization Support, Arts Project Support
and Mini Grants from the Indiana Regional Arts
Partnership and a public reception to honor the
recipients.
Arts Place Executive Director Eric
Rogers stated that “as the State of Indiana has not
yet approved a budget for the Indiana Arts
Commission, it is necessary to postpone Arts Place
grant making decisions.” All media representatives
are encouraged to attend the reception at 5:00 p.m.,
followed by the grant awards ceremony at 6:00 p.m.
Please RSVP by contacting Sue Burk, 260-726-4809,
ext. 223 or
sburk@artsland.org.
The Grant Awards reception will take
place from 5 to 6 p.m., featuring Hartford City
artist Kim Anderson. The awards ceremony will
immediately follow from 6 to 7 p.m. Racster, Jacks,
and Associates have kindly agreed to sponsor the
reception.
Among the other activities scheduled at Arts Place,
Inc. for Tuesday, July 28, 2009 is a quarterly
meeting of the Regional Roundtable Committee at 2:00
p.m. The Region Five Roundtable is an advisory
council to Arts Place, Inc. on matters that affect
planning, delivery, and evaluation of the four core
regional services of grants making, technical
assistance, information and referral, and cultural
planning.
Under the Indiana Arts Commission’s Regional Arts
Partnership, Arts Place serves a twelve county
region in East Central Indiana, including Adams,
Blackford, Delaware, Fayette, Grant, Henry, Jay,
Madison, Randolph, Rush, Union, and Wayne Counties.
These grants are made possible by the Indiana Arts
Commission with funds appropriated by the Indiana
General Assembly and the U.S. Congress, through the
National Endowment for the Arts, and are for the
fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009. Last year, over
$189,000.00 was granted. Arts Place anticipates
awarding a much smaller amount for the coming fiscal
year due to the State’s declining revenues. |
