The SullivanMunce Cultural Center in Zionsville is receiving $9,867 in funding from the Indiana Arts Commission’s Arts Project Support and Arts Organization Support grant programs. The funds will support the center’s efforts to serve as a local resource for arts, history and genealogy.
The center’s board approved funding recommendations in June. Funding for the Indiana Arts Commission and its programs comes from the Indiana General Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
“I want to thank the Indiana Arts Commission, Governor Holcomb, (State Senator) JD Ford and all other Indiana legislators for their part in making this grant possible,” said Cynthia Young, executive director of the SullivanMunce Cultural Center. “We will use this grant as operating funds so that we can continue to provide art, arts education and cultural experiences to our community and beyond.”
The SullivanMunce Cultural Center was one of 338 organizations in Indiana to receive funding.
“Across Indiana, we have seen the positive impact that investing in arts and creativity has on quality of life,” said Anne Penny Valentine, chair of the Indiana Arts Commission. “Each of the projects and organizations selected for funding is doing exceptional creative work in and for Hoosier communities. The Commission is excited and honored to support the work of these organizations as they engage the public, develop their communities and foster creativity across our state.”
SullivanMunce features an art center, historical collection museum, genealogical library and also serves as the City of Zionsville’s Welcome Center. For more information, visit sullivanmunce.org.
