A dozen Hartford arts-based event, facilities and employment programs will share $370,000 in grants from the city, officials announced.
The largest grants are headed to Hartford Stage Co., Institute for Community Research and the Connecticut Public Broadcasting Network.
Hartford Stage will use its $47,510 to continue a renovation project. ICR received an identical grant to support its six-week costume-making camp, Mas Camp, which it runs with the Connecticut International Carnival Association.
CPBN will use its $42,510 for its Connecticut Storytellers program.
Other grant recipients include Hartbeat Ensemble, Anne Cubberly/Nightfall, TheaterWorks, Hartford Blooms, Harriet Beecher Stowe Center, Asylum Hill Neighborhood Association, Connecticut Landmarks, Greater Hartford Festival of Jazz and Hartford Independent Chamber Orchestra.
“Many of these organizations continuously drive economic activity and tourism from across the state,” Mayor Pedro Segarra said in a statement.
Correction: The original version of this story incorrectly stated that the Greater Hartford Arts Council provides the grants. GHAC administers the program, but the grants are city funded.
