CAC awarded facilities grant | Archives

“These grant dollars will allow arts organizations in Georgia to focus on their primary mission to bring art and cultural events to their communities by ensuring their facilities are in good condition,” said Georgia Council for the Arts Director Tina Lilly. “Georgia Council for the Arts is excited to help our arts communities continue to foster economic and cultural vitality by improving their facilities, and we are grateful to the Georgia General Assembly for providing this support to improve quality of life across the state.”

Georgia Council for the Arts received applications from arts organizations from across the state, including performing arts centers, museums, galleries, amphitheaters, and arts classroom spaces. Cultural Facilities grants are available to arts organizations for repairing, preserving, or acquiring an arts facility, or for purchasing equipment.

“We are honored and grateful to receive this grant and to be recognized as an arts council that deserves funding,” said CAC Executive Director Emily Lightner.

The Cultural Arts Council Douglasville/Douglas County intends to utilize the funds received to support repairs on the main building, Lightner said.

Funding for these grants is provided through appropriations from the Georgia General Assembly and the American Rescue Plan (ARP).
