The Dane County Cultural Affairs Commission has awarded more than $155,000 in grants in support of community arts, culture and local history programs.
The funding includes $148,080 in grants for 54 projects and $7,331 for four capital grants.
The public-private money from the commission is combined with funds from the Evjue Foundation, the American Girl’s Fund for Children, the Endres Manufacturing Company Foundation, the Madison Community Foundation’s Arts Access Fund, the Overture Foundation and the Pleasant T. Rowland Foundation to total about $1.5 million, with that amount being matched from other sources.
