To support arts programs services and activities associated with carrying out the agency's national endowment for the arts-approved strategic plan

This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) under the Promotion of the Arts Partnership Agreements program (CFDA 45.025), supports arts programs, services, and activities in Rhode Island. The total grant amount is $938,825.00 with a performance period from July 1, 2024, to December 31, 2025.

The award recipient, the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts (RISCA), will use the funding to carry out its NEA-approved strategic plan, which includes developing and maintaining partnerships with regional arts organizations to promote artistic excellence, arts education, and public access to the arts across the state. The grant enables RISCA to provide general operating support to sub-grantees such as Trinity Repertory Co Inc. and AS220, two prominent arts organizations in Providence, Rhode Island, that deliver multidisciplinary arts programming, arts education, and workforce development initiatives for underserved populations.
