Five Grants Awarded and a New Arts Grants Opportunity



The Florence Regional Arts Alliance (FRAA) announces five grant recipients in the third
quarter of its grants program. The program is designed to support a wide variety of quality arts projects, professional development opportunities for artists and arts administrators. Recipients of grants awarded this quarter are the Florence Symphony Orchestra for its Spring Concert with the Masterworks Choir, The McLeod Health Foundation for its Artful Expressions Project, Florence Downtown Development Corporation’s Chamber Music Series at the Gallery, Ms. Dolores Johnson of Williams Middle School’s Phat Pheet and the Lake City Community Theatre’s upcoming production of Curtains.

Partnering with the South Carolina Arts Commission, the Florence Regional Arts Alliance has four annual quarterly grant deadlines. The next application deadline for this year’s grant cycle is November 15th for projects taking place in April, May or June. To be considered, organizations must be based in Florence County with a Florence County mailing address and be registered charitable organizations with federal non-profit status. Individual artists must be practicing artists and have a Florence County mailing address. 

The program is funded in part by a generous award from the John and Susan Bennett Memorial Arts
Fund of the Coastal Community Foundation of SC, the South Carolina Arts Commission, The National Endowment for the Arts, Honda and local individual support to the Florence Regional Arts Alliance.
