Print Eleven San Diego County arts organizations received a combined $203,000 in grants Wednesday from the National Endowment for Arts as part of the federal agency’s spring 2021 funding program. Overall, the NEA disbursed $88 million in grants to more than 1,000 organizations nationwide. The funding included $27 million in individual grants for arts projects planned in the coming year. In California, 177 organizations received a combined $5.5 million in grants for arts projects. The spring funding also included “Our Town” matching grants for arts programs that enrich the community through the arts, as well as grants to state and regional arts organizations. This spring’s grants were designed to help arts organizations — most of which have been closed or drastically reduced by the pandemic over the past year — re-engage with their audiences, according to Ann Eilers, NEA’s acting chair.
