Project Stream Awards for 2011-2012 Announced

October 19, 2011 - The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA), through its Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts (PPA) regional partnership with the Pennsylvania Rural Arts Alliance has granted funding to 24 arts groups and individuals in this region. Applicants requesting funding completed Project Stream grant applications earlier this summer. The applications were reviewed and scored by a panel of arts experts.

The PPA Project Stream is a program of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency. Through the Project Stream the PCA is a source of funding to groups and individual artists who bring the arts to our fellow Pennsylvanians. This funding comes from a state appropriation from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

A grant awards ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday October 25 at 7 PM at Artworks in Johnstown! located in the Cambria City section of Johnstown. Grant awardees are invited to attend to receive the grant checks and talk about their funded projects.
