State Senator Christine Cohen (D-Guilford) today welcomed the news that 24 grants totaling over $200,000 have been approved by the CT Cultural Fund for historical, music, dance, arts and other cultural organizations in the 12th State Senate District.
“For over a quarter-century these general operations grants have been making a difference in keeping Connecticut’s arts and cultural organizations vibrant and relevant in communities all across the state, including right here along the shoreline and in south-central Connecticut,” Sen. Cohen said. “So much of who we are as citizens revolves around music and history and theatre – all the things that bring beauty and meaning to our lives in different and sometimes unexpected ways. Just like our small businesses and teachers and first responders, the arts have to be supported too. I’m really thankful for these grants.”
The grants – which were awarded by CT Humanities to organizations locally and across Connecticut – were funded the Connecticut General Assembly. The grants are part of the nearly $31 million allocated in 2022-2023 to support CT Humanities’ mission of connecting people to cultural and humanities organizations via grants, partnerships, and collaborative programs.
