The Athens Cultural Affairs Commission (ACAC) is pleased to announce the 50 awardees of our 2020 Arts In Community Resilience Awards, funded as part of the Athens-Clarke County Resiliency Package. Each awardee receives $2,000 to support their proposed project.
These funds were distributed to local artists or organizations to complete creative projects in Athens-Clarke County as a means support our arts community in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Proposals ranged from visual art exhibitions, performances, film festivals, music projects, and so much more.
Final projects will take place through December 31st, 2021, either virtually or in person (using CDC recommended safety measures), throughout Athens-Clarke County.
