The Winfield Arts & Humanities Council has been awarded $50,000 from the National Endowment for the Arts as part of the American Rescue Plan. Winfield Arts & Humanities Council is one of five Kansas organizations to receive an NEA grant through the program. “We are honored to be recommended to receive this assistance and grateful for NEA’s appreciation for the struggles we face as an arts organization in a small community,” arts and humanities council director Cheri Kindt-Gonzales said. “Although they struggle as well, our supporters have been faithful to keep the arts vibrant in Winfield.” The grant will go toward helping community arts and culture recover from the pandemic. The funding can be used to save jobs and to fund operations and facilities, health and safety supplies, and marketing and promotional efforts to encourage attendance and participation.
