Sustaining the Arts in Difficult Times

Arts Stability Grants
West Virginia

The West Virginia Commission on the Arts (WVCA) and the West Virginia Division of Culture and History have introduced the ArtStability program, which is intended to provide additional mid-year support to arts organizations faced with the challenges of producing arts experiences for the public in the current economy. The award, available to recipients of fiscal year 2010 Community Arts Project Support funding, gives arts organizations support for quality arts programming in the last two quarters of the year. The reports WVCA will receive from the award give the Commission an opportunity to collect midyear financial information about the arts organizations in the state, which will provide fresh data about the health of the arts ecosystem of West Virginia.
