The Williams Center for the Arts will be getting some much needed help from the Iowa CARES Act according to center director Douglas McFarlane. He reported the center was notified they will be receiving $9,500 from the $7 million of federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act allocated to the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs earlier this month.
