AWAAC RECEIVES GRANT FROM THE ARTS COMMISSION, LUCAS COUNTY, CITY OF TOLEDO
The Anthony Wayne Area Arts Commission is proud and pleased to announce we have received a $1000 grant from The Arts Commission to provide support that is critical to the recovery of Toledo/Lucas County community of arts organizations and artists. This grant is part of the American Rescue Plan Act money received by the City of Toledo and Lucas County that was created to provide support to local arts organizations and artists.
The funds will be used by the Anthony Wayne Area Arts Commission to provide stipends for art leaders and musicians who assist with our many exciting art-related events and activities in the Anthony Wayne community.
AWAAC wishes to extend a sincere thank you to The Arts Commission and Toledo/ Lucas County for making these funds available and approving our grant applications.

The organization is the longest-standing arts commission in the state of Ohio, serving youth, artists, arts organizations, and the general public.
