Lisa O'Connell, artistic director of Pat the Dog Theatre Productions, said the group has announced a program of "micro grants" for Sudbury creators that will allow them to begin an artistic project. The money– $8000 in total– comes from the City of Greater Sudbury and donations raised through the group's digital Play Smelter in November. The grants amount to $500 each, and will be distributed through Pat the Dog, O'Connell said.
