If you are an entity aimed at furthering arts in your community, a Macon County non-profit wants to help you through its most recent grant cycle.

Jerry Johnson is the Executive Director of the Decatur Area Arts Council and explains their grants are good for any organization to help with an event or class or project you may have.

This is the first of three grant opportunities throughout the year for the Arts Council. Johnson says if promoting the arts is your mission, they want to help you out.

Johnson believes the DAAC grant applications are not complicated at all and are worth checking out at decaturarts.org. And again the deadline to apply is Feb. 1.
