Dozens of local organizations that promote community arts, history, and culture are receiving “Dane Arts” grants, County Executive Joe Parisi and the Dane County Arts and Cultural Affairs Commission announced today. 48 project, two short order, and two capital requests totaling $74,375 were recently awarded in cycle two for “Dane Arts” grants in 2022.

 

“We are proud to have so many creative artists call Dane County home,” County Executive Joe Parisi said. “Through county funding, private donations, and ongoing partnerships, the ‘Dane Arts’ grants support the incredible work of our local artists and organizations in the Dane County community. Congratulations to this year’s recipients.”

 

The “Dane Arts” grants are funded by county dollars in conjunction with private donations from the Endres Manufacturing Company Foundation, the W. Jerome Frautschi Foundation, and the Pleasant T. Rowland Foundation.

 

This year, Dane County’s Dane Arts will award over $170,000 in public-private funds to nonprofit organizations, schools, individuals, and municipalities for arts, cultural, and local history projects and programs offered countywide.
