The Decatur Area Arts Council is promoting its latest grant cycle.

Jerry Johnson is the Executive Director of the Decatur Area Arts Council and indicates non-profits and arts-based efforts can apply for funding from the Art Council for special projects or general programs.

According to Johnson, they recently were able to help the Decatur Children's Museum with an ag-themed exhibit. These cycles each time around do not have specific uses, calling it an open grant cycle.

Once applications are in, a small committee reviews those and Johnson points out an applicant may seek out an applicant for more information. Otherwise, the Arts Council board approves those applications and once the event or program has concluded, the group is reimbursed.
