In our "Arts Under Attack" story that ran in the May issue, we reported that local arts organizations could expect some federal stimulus money. This morning, Governor Martin O'Malley announced that 29 local arts organizations will receive $306,000 (in Maryland Arts Employment Stabilization Program grants) from the Maryland State Arts Council (MSAC). Those funds come from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009.
“These funds are critical to sustaining Maryland’s creative economy during this time of unprecedented fiscal challenges,” said Governor O’Malley. “Through the Maryland Arts Employment Stabilization program, 40 jobs in Maryland’s arts community will be saved or retained, ensuring that our valued arts organizations have the support and resources they need for continued growth.”
