Nearly 50 Nevada organizations will make more art and culture thanks to Nevada Humanities’ newly announced 2022 Major Project Grants, which total $232,484.
Recipients range from big players (the Smith Center for the Performing Arts and UNLV’s Barrick Museum) to small-town stalwarts (Elko’s Western Folklife Center and Mesquite’s Virgin Valley Artists Association).
The grants are in the $1,000-$6,000 range and are for specific projects. For example, $6,000 will support the Writing Downtown Arts and Activism Speaker Series at the Writer’s Block bookstore.
