Elizabethtown organization receives Kentucky Arts Council grant

The Kentucky Arts Council has awarded a grant of $4,165 to The Music & Arts Center of Cultural Learning in Elizabethtown.

“This is our second time receiving a grant from them,” said Victor Collins, the center’s director.

MACCL is among 104 recipients of grants totaling $1.7 million disbursed from the Kentucky Arts Partnership. The grant is for fiscal year 2013, and MACCL will get a portion of the grant in August, Collins said.

Collins said grant money will be used for supporting programs, funding scholarships and purchasing musical instruments.

Founded in October 2004, MACCL offers music and art instruction to children.

The KAC grants are awarded as operational support funding to nonprofit organizations offering year-round arts services and programs to benefit the public.

“Without that we couldn’t do some of the things we do,” Collins said.
