$3.7 Million in Grants to Support Arts Initiatives Across the State
Announcing project, operating support, and statewide partnership grant recipients
MONTGOMERY, Ala., (September 9, 2024) - At its September quarterly meeting in Montgomery, Ala., the Alabama State Council on the Arts awarded 221grants totaling $3,733,900 to 177 organizations across the state. This significant investment will support a wide range of arts initiatives, including arts education, programming, administrative support, and operating expenses for arts organizations.
"The funds awarded through our grantmaking process serve as investments in our creative economy, and strengthen cultural expression, provide curriculum-based arts education for students, and increase lifelong learning opportunities for all citizens," said Elliot Knight, Executive Director of the Council on the Arts. "Public funding is essential in fostering a vibrant arts community, and we are proud to support organizations that enrich the lives of Alabamians."
Project Grants, Administrative Project Grants, and Curriculum-Based Project Grants
Project grants support a wide range of activities and events that result in positive arts experiences for the public. Administrative project grants provide salary support, internal or capacity-building projects, or training and professional development. Curriculum-based project grants include educational programming with sequential learning for Pre-K-12 students, with activities connected to an organized curriculum.

About Alabama State Council on the Arts
The Council on the Arts is the official state agency for the support and development of the arts in Alabama. The Council works to expand and preserve the state's cultural resources by supporting nonprofit arts organizations, schools, colleges, units of local government, and individual artists. Arts programs, assisted by Council grants, have a track record of enhancing community development, education, cultural tourism, and overall quality of life in all regions of the state. Alabama State Council on the Arts grants are made possible by an annual appropriation from the Alabama Legislature and additional funds from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
