A boost to arts and tourism
“This funding is critical to shining a bright light on the beauty, power and depth that arts and culture have on our region,” she said in an announcement of the state grant.
By showcasing cultural offerings, Wake said, “we have an opportunity to not only provide exposure, but an essential boost to our artists and arts organizations that desperately need all the help they can get.”
The foundation’s grant is the largest of the 14 grants distributed to Cape and Islands organizations. Those represent nearly one-quarter of the 59 grants and about 19% of the more than $1.58 million in funding available through the newly created Travel and Tourism Recovery Grant Pilot Program.
