Arts Alive awards 10 minigrants to local artists

A panel of peers in the arts community selected 10 local artists and creative businesses to be awardees of an Arts Alive minigrant. This year, 33 total applicants sent artist bios and descriptions of their project for review. Selected projects received funding to either expand the artist’s or business’ professional abilities or increase the amount of people they reach with arts experiences.

“We’re really delighted that the minigrants program can open the doors for folks to pursue their dreams and reach their community,” says Jennifer Paone, Arts Alive Board Co-Chair
