The Connecticut Congressional delegation announced today 15 National Endowment for the Arts awards to support and advance the arts in communities across Connecticut. The awards range in value from $10,000 to $714,300.
"From poetry to puppets, arts-infused education to outdoor performance, these competitive awards represent the depth and breadth of Connecticut's incredible arts community. We are proud to announce these awards, totaling more than $1 million, to advance, support and inspire the arts in towns across Connecticut. Whether it is in the classroom, in our parks, or in our museums and theaters, the arts enliven and enrich our understanding and appreciation of who we are as a community, and we are all better for that. We look forward to continuing to support this meaningful work," the delegation stated.
