Announcing project grant recipients & traditional
arts apprentices
MONTGOMERY,
Ala., (December
11, 2023) — At its December
quarterly meeting in Montgomery, Ala., the Alabama State Council on the Arts
awarded 185 grants totaling $1,172,100 to 152 organizations
and individuals across the state.
The latest
round of grantees includes organizations specializing in arts education, folk
arts, community arts, literary arts, dance, music, theatre, and visual art
forms. These grants serve as catalysts for new and innovative public offerings,
enhancing educational programs and fostering artistic growth.
Additionally, traditional artist apprenticeships were
awarded to 24 individuals. The Folk Arts Apprenticeship program is designed to
preserve and pass on Alabama’s traditional arts. These grants have consistently
had a tremendous impact by continuing important cultural expressions within
communities and providing valuable artistic training for individuals.
“Art and
creativity make us stronger – as individuals, families, communities, and as a state. They are the
backbone of innovation, prosperity, and thriving people and places. The grants
awarded by the Council are a high-return investment that will benefit millions
of Alabamians in the months ahead,” said Dr. Elliot Knight, Executive Director
of the Council on the Arts.
During their time in the River Region, the Council on the
Arts board learned more about some of the organizations that strengthen the
community. The King’s Canvas, Pike Road Theatre Company, the Alabama Writers’
Forum, and Cloverdale Playhouse gave presentations during the two-day meeting. Council
members also attended a reception at the Kelly Fitzpatrick Center for the Arts
in downtown Wetumpka to see how their leadership has leveraged Council grants. Over
the past few years, the Kelly has galvanized robust community support, enabling
the creation of new full-time jobs and the purchase and renovation of an amazing
facility overlooking the Coosa River.
PROJECT GRANTS
The following
grant recipients represent a broad range of organizations, from grassroots
community collectives to established cultural institutions. The funds awarded
will fuel the implementation of festivals, concerts, exhibitions, artist residencies,
workshops, and public art, bolstering Alabama’s artistic scene and enriching
lives across the state. The Council on the Arts’ commitment to providing
administrative support is also reflected in this grant cycle, ensuring that
organizations can continue to focus on artistic programming.
