ARTS GRANT RECIPIENTS

The Essex County Arts Council (ECAC) is pleased to announce the 2022 Cultural Assistance Program (CAP) Grant recipients. Grants in the amount of $32,500 to support specific projects have been awarded to over 40 organizations providing cultural arts experiences for Essex County residents. The CAP Grant is funded by Essex County and private donors.

Grant recipients are evaluated for their artistic merit, fiscal competence and impact upon the community. “These arts and cultural organizations are the driving force that allow the arts to flourish in Essex County towns,” states Susan Hughes, ECAC Arts Administrator. “They offer a variety of art forms which collectively create the atmosphere in which we choose to live.” A complete list of CAP Grantees and their projects can be found on ECAC’s website HERE.

Watch for ECAC’s new “Out and About in the Arts” feature in ADK A&E e-News as we profile the recipients in over the coming months.
