Arts grant applications open
Applications are open for the Westmoreland County Bureau of Parks and Recreation’s grant program, supporting arts-related projects and activities in the county.
Local nonprofit arts organizations and government entities involved in the production or display of arts activities are eligible, if their projects take place from June 1 to Dec. 31 of this year. Up to 60% project funding is available for direct costs of proposed projects, and not for general administration, capital expenses or in-kind costs.
A review board will evaluate all applications received by March 26, and applicants will be notified of grant awards by June 6.
