Library Mural Grant

11/26/2016

  Woo-hoo! I just received some wonderful news! Last September I submitted a proposal for an individual artist grant from the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralized Grant Program, which is administered through GOArt (Genesee-Orleans Regional Arts Council) in Batavia. And today I got a letter saying my grant for $2,500 to paint an exterior mural on the Bergen Library was approved!
  The mural is to be completed by the first week in June of 2017, with an opening reception on June 10th, the same day as the Bergen Park Festival.
In early September I showed one sample idea I made to the Bergen Town Board and then to the Library Board of Trustees, and they all really liked what I came up with. So now I have about four months to come up with the final design. I am incredibly thrilled!
​  That is all for now.
