Grants to the Arts    

The arts provide a breadth and depth of experiences that touch our lives and enrich our region. By investing in the creative experiences of youth, we create opportunities for the next generation of thinkers and artists to discover more about themselves, each other, and their community. By supporting excellence in the arts, we promote art forms and institutions that challenge, entertain, and contribute to our overall quality of life.
