PROVIDENCE – Five grants totaling $125,000 have been awarded to arts organizations in Rhode Island from the National Endowment of the Arts, the R.I. State Council on the Arts announced.
The organizations are:

  • Alliance of Artists Communities, $35,000 to support research about artist communities;

  • Trinity Repertory Co., $20,000 to support a production of “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

The federal grants support projects from some of Rhode Island’s major arts institutions. In addition, the National Endowment of the Arts works in partnership with the R.I. State Council on the Arts to ensure that the people of Rhode Island have access to the arts.
Randall Rosenbaum, executive director of the R.I. State Council on the Arts, said, “We are delighted that the National Endowment for the Arts has supported several important Rhode Island arts institutions with direct grants. These grants will help thousands of Rhode Islanders experience the finest our state’s cultural institutions have to offer. In addition, the National Endowment for the Arts works to ensure that people throughout the country have access to the arts, in their communities and as part of their educational and life experiences. Every grant that we make at the state level is a reflection of that national effort to make the arts available to all of our citizens, and as such is enormously important. The Rhode Island State Council on the Arts is proud to work with our federal partner in that effort.”
