Arts Council taking application for grants
The Union County Community Arts Council is accepting applications for its Grassroots Arts Program for the 2007-08 year. Grants will be issued for cultural arts projects, events and services that occur between July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008. Funds are available to nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations whose purpose is to promote and develop diverse cultural arts programming in Union County.

A committee consisting of council board members and Union county representatives will review grant requests. Funding decisions will be made by the board of directors and grants awarded when the N.C. General Assembly adopts its 2007-08 state budget. For more information or to receive a grant application, contact the Union County Community Arts Council at 704-283-2784 or e-mail uccac@aol.com.
