Vermont Arts Council Receives 37053 Federal Grant
Vermont Council on the Arts executive secretary Arthur Williams announced that the National Council on the Arts awarded 37053 for a Vermont arts survey and program planning. The senator noted the funding falls short of the requested 50000 due to a federal cut, with surveys at 25000 and matching program funds limited to 12053. Williams said regional conferences will start in fall to assess the arts, with facility surveys and planning to follow. New council offices are at 136 State St.
