DENVER (July 2, 2009). The Colorado Council on the Arts (CCA) announces 128 awards totaling $907,000 to individuals, organizations and government agencies in 33 counties. Grants to Artists and Organizations supports arts and cultural activities that make the arts more accessible to all Coloradans, expand access to quality arts education for young people, support tourism and economic development, preserve and promote our cultural heritage and strengthen arts-related businesses. The total grant funds are 25% less than last year, reflecting the state’s overall budget reductions.
The awards are for activities to take place between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010. A complete list of grant recipients by county follows this press release. For a full description of funded activities, go to www.coloarts.org
“These grants support the creative individuals and community organizations which are key building blocks to Colorado’s Creative Economy,” said Elaine Mariner, executive director of the Council. “Our recent study showed there are over 186,000 jobs in the creative sector, making it our state’s fifth largest industry cluster. By investing in this sector’s vitality, Colorado reaps the benefits of jobs, economic growth, and a quality of life that positions us to compete in the 21st century.”
The mission of the Colorado Council on the Arts is to promote the cultural, educational and economic growth of Colorado through development of its arts and cultural heritage. Funding is provided through an annual appropriation from the state’s Gaming Fund and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
