   The newest Moving Arts Española grant will help provide a new location and activities with the hopes of keeping children engaged through their teenage years.
   The $100,000 grant from the Carl & Marilynn Thoma Art Foundation will provide for Moving Arts to design a space in the former Ohkay Owingeh casino dome for programs for teenagers.
   The Thoma Art Foundation is co-headquartered in Chicago and Santa Fe, and offers grants to organizations, and collects and exhibits art.
   Moving Arts Co-Founder and State Representative-elect Roger Montoya said the current organization is great for children and pre-teens, but that children âage outâ of the program at 12 or 13.
