Congratulations to to five area arts organizations. Recipients of the 2009 awards are:

The total granted was $5000 for the 2009-2010 program year.

Grant writing is an important activity for today's arts organizations, and ArtShare provides a realistic exercise for improving skills. Each of the ArtShare recipients uniquely contributes to our quality of life in Loudoun, and all deserve applause for their excellent achievements.

ArtShare is an annual regranting program for Loudoun County arts groups which demonstrate artistic excellence and effective management. Contributions from foundations, corporations and individuals are obtained for restricted use in this regranting program that distributes funds to local not-for-profit arts groups.

Each year, the Loudoun Arts Council awards grants to member organizations that have demonstrated artistic excellence and effective management. Awards are presented during performances and openings so that audiences can share in the celebrations.

Applications for the 2010-2011 program year will be available from the Loudoun Arts Council in the fall of 2010. For more information, or to receive an ArtShare application, contact the Loudoun Arts Council at (703) 777-7838.
