A record appropriation for the Ohio Arts Council in the stateâs 2022-23 budget has paid off for Athens County arts organizations.
The OAC awarded a total of nearly $255,000 to 17 entities in Athens County â the highest amount and greatest number of recipients in recent years, if not ever.
The award total represents a 40% increase in funding over the 2020 grant cycle.
Of the 17 grants awarded, two went to organizations that have not received funding in recent grant cycles. The Federal Valley Resource Center in Stewart was awarded $4,184 for its âFrom Old Savannah to Tablertownâ event scheduled for Sept. 11. Ohio Universityâs Tantrum Theater received a total of $6,223 to sponsor a Middle School Drama Club in the county and to engage two teaching artists for a series of improvisation workshops at Passion Works Studio that will lead to a free public performance.
