City of Lansing issued the following announcement on Dec. 11.
The City of Lansing and Arts Council Greater Lansing are proud to announce round-one FY2021 City of Lansing Arts and Culture Arts Projects Grants totaling $40,000 to two local arts and cultural organizations. These grants are funded through the City of Lansing and administered by the Arts Council of Greater Lansing. This year, there are two rounds of Arts Project Grants, with round-two applications due in January.
“Arts and culture tells the story of our diverse and creative community and is a key component of our city’s identity,” said Mayor Andy Schor. “Our area artists and arts and cultural organizations have played an important role in Lansing’s success, boosting tourism, and as a result, fueling our economy. These things will be especially important as we move into 2021. The arts will have a starring role in reinvigorating our neighborhoods and making our city one that is welcoming to visitors and new residents,” Schor said. “We congratulate this year’s recipients and extend our gratitude to the Arts Council Greater Lansing for their work with these projects.”
The City of Lansing Arts and Culture Grants are designed to support arts organizations and create community-driven artistic projects that capitalize on Lansing’s assets, inspiration and potential, contributing to a “sense of place” for residents, businesses and visitors. The Arts Projects Grants specifically look for community-driven arts projects and programs that increase access to arts and culture for residents, businesses and visitors to the City of Lansing.
