Arts supporters have long stated that the arts sector contributes to the nation's gross domestic product, or GDP. Pretty soon we'll know exactly how much it contributes.
The National Endowment for the Arts posted the guidelines and application materials for Our Town, the agency's primary creative placemaking grants program. Pending availability of funding, grants will range from $25,000 to $200,000. Deadline is January 14, 2013. SEE PRESS RELEASE.
