The Contemporary Arts Center is happy to announce that the Nevada Arts Council has awarded a one-time SNAP (Sustaining Nevada’s Arts Programs) Grant of $10,000 to pay the salary of its new Director, Wendy Kveck. The Nevada Arts Council distributed $250,500 in federal stimulus funding to 39 arts organizations throughout the state, helping to preserve jobs and arts programs in Fiscal Year 2010. Out of 61 grants reviewed, only 10 scored over 90%. Listed amongst those top 10 was the CAC, which scored 97% and received the top award of $10,000. This will be the largest single grant the CAC has yet to receive from any one funder or sponsor. The grant is a reimbursement grant, and is only to be used for salaries of key personnel.
The Contemporary Arts Center is the proud recipient of the 30th Annual Governor's Art Award for the Leadership in Organizations category. Thank you to our artists, volunteers, members and sponsors for your support!
