Thirteen local nonprofits and six schools recieve funding for 2018 from CCAA

On Saturday, November 18, 2017, the Charles County Arts Alliance awarded $44,000 in Arts Grants to 13 local nonprofit organizations and 6 schools to support upcoming countywide cultural events.  The grant award ceremony was held during the Annual Grantee and Membership Gala at the Old Waldorf School.  These grants support a myriad of cultural programs and events to be held in Charles County throughout the year, such as concerts and theatrical performances, art gallery presentations, workshops and demonstrations, music competitions, international and cultural performances, and literary development.

The Arts Grant Program has been the focal point of the Arts Alliance since the volunteer nonprofit organization was founded in 1987.  The purpose of the Program is to enhance the quality of cultural life for the citizens of Charles County, and help make it a more vibrant, exciting and diverse place to live.  The grants are awarded on an annual competitive basis following an application process and review by the Arts Alliance Grant Committee, comprised of Board members and local citizens.
