ArtPlace names finalists for second grant cycle

Just a little over two months ago, more than 2,000 letters of inquiry flowed into ArtPlace–the newly-established consortium that supports creative placemaking with grants and loans, research, and advocacy. In another sign of its nimbleness and efficiency, ArtPlace has already narrowed the field to 127 finalists, representing 68 cities.

The selected projects represent the best of the more than 2,000 applications from across the country. Finalists were chosen for their potential to have a transformative impact on community vibrancy. Proposed projects run the gamut from temporary art spaces to permanent performance venues, from music festivals to art walks and from streetscaping to artist residencies.
