Everett

Money for cultural arts projects available

Everett’s Cultural Arts Commission is accepting applications for a new grant program designed to pay for capital projects that enhance cultural life for Everett residents.

Money awarded from the grant can be used for the purchase, design, construction and remodeling of buildings for performing, visual arts and cultural activities or for the purchase of production equipment to be used for at least 10 years.

“Supporting the infrastructure of our arts organizations is key to creating a healthy, vibrant arts community,” said Carol Thomas, Everett’s cultural arts manager. “The cultural arts gives the community life and nourishes the soul.”

The application deadline is March 14. Grants are expected to be awarded by the end of April.
