Meg Loncharic: Mural project highlights art by Erie s new Americans Meg Loncharic Erie Arts & Culture received a grant from the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art to provide opportunities for Erie artists from Muslim countries so they may gain wider recognition here. The grant funded school-based residencies, public performances and digital media training for 12 artists, some of whom came to Erie as refugees. Kelly Armor, Erie Arts & Culture s folklorist in residence, is quick to share news of the grant. “Especially during COVID, when so much has been canceled, you can still visit these shops, see the art, and support a local business while literally tasting the bounty of Erie’s new-American cultures,” she said.
