The County of Summit Regional Arts and Cultural District Board is currently seeking grant applicants and proposals for its Sept. 1 review deadline.
In 2007, the Regional Arts & Cultural Board began providing grants to programs conducted by not-for-profit organizations and agencies for activities in the performing and visual arts plus architecture, design and preservation.
This year, Summit County has allocated $30,000 of public funds to be distributed by the Board.
A grant application form and information are available online at http://www.co.summit.oh.us/executive/Arts&CulturalBrdhome.htm
Last year, grants ranged from $500 to $5,000, helping sponsor concerts, educational materials and hands-on art activities for families.
Organizations applying must be an IRS-designated 501(c)3. Funded programs must have a component that is open to the public.
