The Worcester Arts Council will receive a $250,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, funded through the American Rescue Plant Act, the City of Worcester announced on Tuesday.
The funds will be broken down into small grants and distributed across the community with the aim of supporting groups as they recover from the pandemic.
“The NEA’s significant investment in local arts agencies, including the Worcester Arts Council, is a key element in helping the arts and culture sector recover and reopen, while ensuring that American Rescue Plan funding is distributed equitably,” said Ann Eilers, NEA’s acting chair, in a statement.
The announcement comes as the NEA distributes the second portion of its ARPA funding. A third installment is expected to be announced in early 2022.
