Baton Rouge Arts Council Receives $250,000 Grant

Reported by Logan Leger on Sun, Aug 02nd, 2009 in Arts & Events · Community and tagged: , , , , , ,

We published an article a few months ago that focused on the major cuts to the arts in the new Louisiana state budget. Ostensibly the arts faced some of the deepest cuts, and many were outraged at the prospect of suffering independent art councils. Today we learned that the National Endowment for the Arts through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has awarded the Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge $250,000. It doesn’t exactly cover all of the cuts, but it will certainly mitigate their effect. Here’s to hoping that the arts will continue to survive and thrive in our great city.
