Ludington Area Center for the Arts receives MCACA grant
The Ludington Area Center for the Arts (LACA) is excited to announce that it has been awarded a operational support grant of $9,000 from the Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs (MCACA) and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) for the fiscal year of 2021.
Organizations receiving a grant from MCACA and the NEA are required to match those funds with other public and private dollars. LACA receives significant funding and volunteer support from the local community.
The grant was awarded this past fall through MCACA’s peer review process which allows for each grant application to be competitively considered by a panel of in-state and out-of-state arts and culture professionals. This ensures the taxpayers, who support this project through legislation appropriations, and all other visitors or residents in Michigan will have access to the highest quality arts and cultural experiences.
