On the Aisle: NEA grant boosts Pro Arte Quartet’s centennial

The Pro Arte Quartet, one of the country?s oldest quartets-in-residence, will celebrate 100 years of performance and education this coming year with substantial help from a $40,000 National Endowment for the Arts grant. Sarah Schaffer, the ensemble?s manager, announced on Monday that with the $40,000 from the NEA?s Access to Artistic Excellence category, fundraising has risen to more than $300,000 toward the overall $460,000 goal.
