Arts Council Awards Grants to Support Arts Statewide |
|
July 21, 2010
The Nevada Arts Council (NAC) approved 149 grant awards for a total of $560,837 for FY11 annual grants through the Arts Education and Grants Program. In May, NAC Grants Panels convened in public meetings to evaluate FY11 applications and recommend funding for the NAC Board to consider during its Spring Board Meeting held via conference call on June 7, 2010. Because of deep budget reductions sustained during the FY09 Legislative Session, panel-recommended funding exceeded the allotted amounts, requiring an average cut of 44.8% per category. Challenge Grants and Design Arts Grants were suspended for FY11 to accommodate budget cuts. Design Arts applicants were allowed to apply in the Project category.
