MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - ArtsMemphis is offering grant funding to organizations in West Tennessee in collaboration with the Tennessee Arts Commission.
The grants are a part of the Arts Build Communities program. It is open to Fayette, Lauderdale, Shelby, and Tipton counties.
“They can apply for these grants to really help broaden access to arts experience,” said Elizabeth Rouse, president and CEO of ArtsMemphis.
The grant funding has been used to help organizations host events and programs.
Local arts organizations are looking at a 25 percent decrease in 2021 income compared to pre-pandemic figures. The data comes from ArtsMemphis on the arts.
SALT LAKE CITY The coronavirus pandemic is showing employers and employees that the workplace of the future could likely look different than it has in years past, with a mix of more virtual technology and less traditional interpersonal environments.
Some employers have pivoted to transition to a remote working model, allowing nonessential employees to work from home or perform their duties from a location of their choosing.
According to a recent Downtown Alliance survey of local employers, 76% of downtown office employees are primarily working remotely, with 24% working some portion of the week from their downtown office. A similar survey last week showed employers expect work-from-office numbers to increase in the next 30 days.
