ArtPlace Awardees

The Foundation is pleased to report that three Initiative organizations have received funding through the collaborative grantmaking effort, ArtPlace. The full list of the Creative Placemaking grantees can be found online through the ArtPlace website.

“Across the country, cities and towns are using the arts to help shape their social, physical, and economic characters,” said NEA Chairman Rocco Landesman. “The arts are a part of everyday life, and I am thrilled to see yet another example of arts organizations working with city, state, and federal offices to help strengthen and revitalize their communities through the arts. It is wonderful that ArtPlace and its funders have recognized this work and invested in it so generously.”
