The Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council received notice of two grant awards in May. SDCC’s proposal for a “Series of Community Cultural Events” will be funded with a $10,000 grant from the Regional Arts Commission and a $2,000 grant from CitiCorp.
The proposed events include an outdoor concert series — Four Evenings at Four Corners, a Christmas walk/house tour, a holiday reader’s theatre, a Mardi Gras concert, and, back by popular demand, a dinner theatre.
This is the second grant awarded to the SDCC by the Arts Commission.
The RAC’s $10,000 grant for 1986-87 was the major funding source for last year’s outdoor concert series, St. Louis Ragtimers concert, the dinner theatre, “A Child’s Christmas in Wales” reader’s theatre, and ART EXPOSED.
The Central West End Savings and Loan generously supported these programs as well.
The $2,000 CitiCorp grant is made through their Urban Renaissance Grant Program.
It is the first grant received by SDCC from CitiCorp.
The Arts Commission grant must be matched dollar for dollar. Half of the match can be in-kind, e.g. donated goods and services; the other half must be matched with cash.
The $2,000 grant from CitiCorp is a substantial portion of the cash match for the Arts Commission grant.
The remaining cash match will be raised through private donations, profit on concessions, and, for a few of the programs, through admissions. Skinker-DeBaliviere is fortunate to benefit from these resources.
Please take advantage; watch for notices and upcoming events and attend!
If you are interested in helping out with any of the events, please call SDCC, 862-5122. Your suggestions and comments are welcome.
