Greenville Center for Creative Arts announced Jan. 14 it has been approved to receive a $25,000 grant for arts projects from the National Endowment for the Arts.
The funds will be used to support GCCA’s 12-month Brandon Fellowship program. Fellows receive studio space, mentorship, professional development and access to GCCA’s resources.
“We are honored to receive our first-ever grant from the National Endowment for the Arts,” said Jess Abbott, chief executive officer of GCCA. “This award is a testament to the impact of the Brandon Fellowship program and its role in fostering emerging talent from historically underrepresented communities. Receiving NEA funding validates the work we are doing at GCCA and elevates the visibility of our mission on a national level. This support allows us to expand opportunities for our Fellows and highlights the importance of investing in inclusive programs that strengthen the cultural fabric of our community. We are excited to continue making a difference with the support of such a renowned organization.”
