The Craven Community
Arts Council will receive a

local groups to produce arts
related projects.
Dr. H. Braughn Taylor,
President of the Craven
Community Arts Council, is
encouraging local groups to
I submit applications for
portions of these funds. Dr.
Taylor explained, “The

serve Craven County.”
Local groups, who will
have to match the amount
of money they get from the
Grassroots program with
an equal amount of cash,
need to include in their
request an explanation of
their project or proposal,
the amount of money
requested, how that money
will be matched, how the
money will be used, and a
yearly budget of the organ
ization.
The information should
be sent to the Craven
Community Arts Council,
Box 596, New Bern, North
Carolina 28560, by March 6.
The money can be put to
such uses as expanding
existing programs, initiat
ing new programs designed
to reach more people,
establishing outreach
programs to expand
audiences, and producing
public festivals. Projects
will take place between
July 1, 1979 and June 30,

The money cannot be
used to hire personnel,
clear existing debts, fund
administrative expenses,
subsidize groups already
receiving federal and state
aid, purchase equipment or
capital expenditures, such
as buildings.
