The Arts Council of Greater Lansing has awarded local arts and cultural agencies $17,562 for the second year of its Collaborative Arts Grant Program. Funded by the Council’s Arts Advancement Endowment Fund, the grants encourage local organizations to work together on new projects that promote arts and culture in the community.
MSU Department of Theatre,
Happendance and
All-of-us Express Children’s Theatre, are some of the organizations awarded this year.
“These collaborations are intended to support innovative collaborations that might otherwise not take place between arts and culture nonprofit organizations,” says Katie Robiadek, program manager for the Arts Council.
“At a time when the arts can help bind our society together, such collaborative efforts in the greater Lansing scene are worthy of encouragement and support. These efforts help organizations to do more with less and multiply the effects of their impact by encouraging them to work together.”
