Increased outreach and a new, small grants program (Project Support II) led to a jump in participation and 36% of all organizations were first time applicants to CAC. Board of Trustees President, Sari Feldman said “We are extremely pleased with the results of the new PS II program. CAC has been able to expand its reach in to the community and provide more opportunities for arts and cultural organizations.
