It is the first of three grant cycles at the Decatur Area Arts Council for 2024.

Jerry Johnson is the Executive Director and explains grant cycles come around three times a year and now is the time to apply for the first of 2024 and reminds of the service area of the art council.

According to Johnson, the Arts Council gets a lot of requests from groups and schools putting on stage productions and the money they release in grant funding has a couple of sources.

Johnson is pleased to announce there is a little more money to distribute this year and with the first grant cycle deadline coming up soon, he encourages anyone interested to get more details and get an application filled out.

decaturarts.org is the website to find the application on the grant cycle and to find more details about who can apply for those grants.
