A new round of funding will help preserve or restore hundreds of Denver jobs in the arts.
The Colorado Council on the Arts, the Denver Office of Cultural Affairs and the Western States Arts Federation recently announced that 47 nonprofit arts organizations in Colorado will receive $568,040 in federal funding to preserve or restore more than 300 salaried and contract positions.
The grants are part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds allocated to the National Endowment for the Arts to help combat job loss in the arts due to declining support amidst the current state of the economy.
