McLean Project for the Arts is proud to be one of the 17 nonprofit arts organizations in Fairfax County receiving a Project Support Grant from the Arts Council of Fairfax County, which was announced in The Washington Post today.

The funds will help support the presentation a multi-media exhibition featuring works by DC-based artist and musician Robin Rose. Corresponding public performance/experiences by the artist will also be scheduled in association with the exhibition, which opens September 10, 2015 in the MPA Emerson and Atrium Galleries at McLean Project for the Arts

Project Support grants are non-recurring grants used to support arts organizations in providing activities that engage new audiences in the arts and contribute to the vibrancy and quality of life in Fairfax County. These grants do not fund operating expenses. The funding was made possible through a one-time grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

“The Arts Council of Fairfax County was awarded a one-time Global Arts Initiative grant from the National Endowment for the Arts which has enabled the Arts Council to reach out to Fairfax’s diverse communities, identifying over 50 new ethnic and immigrant arts organizations and programs, providing many new grants for FY16,” said Linda. S. Sullivan, president and CEO of the Arts Council of Fairfax County.
