HUNTINGTON, WV — During a signing ceremony yesterday, Gov. Jim Justice joined West Virginia Department of Arts, Culture, and History (WVDACH) Curator Randall Reid-Smith in presenting nine grants to arts organizations from the surrounding area at the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center in Huntington.
The awarded grants include:
Arts Partners – The Arts Partners grant program provides operating support for staffing and programming to stable, long-standing arts organizations with full-time staff and operating budgets of at least $100,000. This funding allows them to further their missions and provide high-quality arts programming to their communities.
* Huntington Museum of Art will receive $66,941 for general operating support.
Community Arts Project Support – The Community Arts Project Support grant program provides funding for nonprofit organizations and local governments to provide arts programming in all disciplines to the public.
