CT Humanities Announces $8.5 Million in Grant Awards - Includes 60 Grants for $612,000 to NWCT

CT Humanities provided $8.5 M in general operating support grants to help the state’s museums, cultural, humanities, and arts organizations as they recover from the pandemic. This funding helps recipients maintain and grow their ability to serve their community and the public, connect K-12 teachers and students to strong humanities and arts content, and improve their information technology and digital infrastructure.


These grants were administered by CT Humanities (CTH), with funding provided by the Connecticut State Department of Economic and Community Development/Connecticut Office of the Arts (COA) from the CT General Assembly and approved by Governor Ned Lamont.


THANK YOU to CT Humanities and CT Office of the Arts!
