Iowa invests $7 million in recovery grants for arts, creative and cultural sector
December 22, 2020. A total of 267 cultural organizations and 152 artists serving 118 Iowa communities will receive a share of $7 million in grants announced today by the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs.
As an individual artist and a member of the Iowa Arts Council, I applied and will receive $2500. This money is very appreciated! Thank you Iowa!
Gov. Kim Reynolds allocated the funding, made possible by the Coronavirus, Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, on Dec. 2. The department launched the Iowa Arts & Culture Recovery Program the same day and received more than 550 requests totaling more than $36 million by the Dec. 11 deadline.
