Small grants that often make a large difference in ensuring arts access for Oregonians, especially in rural areas, have been awarded to 97 statewide arts organizations by the Oregon Arts Commission for Fiscal Year 2021.

Eligibility is limited to organizations who have operated as an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit for two years or more and provide ongoing, sustained artistic programming and outreach programs. Each organization received $1,159.
At the Coquille Valley Arts Association, a FY2020 Small Operating Grant award supported the purchase of a Peter Pugger Pugmill for the pottery department. The equipment recycles scrap clay that would otherwise end up in a landfill.

The lawsuit argues that coronavirus relief funds set aside specifically for minority-owned businesses violates the 14th amendment. Author: Bobbi Sheldon Updated: 6:21 PM MST December 9, 2020
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. A Colorado Springs barbershop owner has sued Gov. Jared Polis and the Colorado Minority Business Office (CMBO) this week over recently signed COVID-19 legislation aimed at providing relief to minority-owned small businesses in the state.
The lawsuit, filed by Etienne Hardre, who owns Locals Barbershop, argues that the bill is unconstitutional because it includes race-based classifications to receive funding.
A statement from Hardre s attorney, Michael Kuhn, reads in part, Mr. Hardre s lawsuit asks the U.S. District Court to examine whether a race-based classification is consistent to the U.S. Constitution.
