11:00am |<\/strong> More than $175,000 in grants have been awarded to local 33 artists and organizations this week by the Arts Council for Long Beach.<\/p>\n

Funds were awarded to four professional artists, local performance centers,  and community projects. Some very well-known, others up and coming.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a highly competitive process with many exceptional applicants,\u201d said Craig Watson, Executive Director of the Arts Council for Long Beach. \u201cIn the current economic climate, access to funding is increasingly challenging yet at the same time we\u2019re seeing increased need in the arts community. Long Beach youth need critical arts services such as after-school programs and summer workshops. Long Beach residents need affordable access to performing arts, music and the visual arts.\u201d
 
The Arts Council also announced that it will have new funds this year for Professional Development and Technical Assistance programs, as well as Micro Grants.<\/p>\n

Micro Grants between $500-$1,000 can be awarded to artists and arts organizations throughout the calendar year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thank all 2010-2011 grant panelists and the Arts Council for Long Beach Board of Directors Grant Allocations Committee for volunteering their time toward this challenging selection process,\u201d said Watson. \u201cWe thank the City of Long Beach for supporting the arts with this grant funding.\u201d<\/p>\n
