Gov. Whitmer Announces Funding to Support Michigan Arts, Museums, & Theatres
LANSING, Mich. - Governor Gretchen Whitmer today announced a new round of funding grants awarded to 10 Michigan arts and cultural organizations to continue supporting local communities and economies across the state. As part of a nationwide effort to support arts and artists in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Endowment for the Arts is awarding a total of $1.35 million to the state of Michigan.
"These grants will be critical to growing our economy, supporting community artistic organizations, and creating local jobs" said Governor Gretchen Whitmer. "From paying for personnel expenses and safety supplies to keeping the lights on, these grants will make a difference for the recipients, and in turn, create local jobs and benefit local communities. I am immensely grateful to the National Endowment for the Arts for their efforts to support the arts, artists, and cultural organizations that enrich our communities."
