Nevada County Arts Council is pleased to announce the awarding of $12,500 in micro-grants to 27 professional artists across all disciplines, through what represents the first tranche of funding raised as a result of the Nevada County Relief Fund.
“Having assembled a review panel of partners across the county, it was heartening to know the relief these grants of $500 will bring for each of the fund’s twenty-seven recipients,” said Eliza Tudor, Executive Director at Nevada County Arts Council. “On the other hand, it was heart-rending not to be able to fund everyone this time around. We know there’s so much more work to be done.”
