Our wish was GRANTED
2022 has a lot in store for the Winfield
Arts & Humanities Council. While we were focusing on innovative ideas
to bring us financial stability for this coming year, the National Endowment for the
Arts decided to award us with money through the American Rescue Plan.
WAHC was one in five organizations within Kansas, that had applied for
this national grant and won; we are so excited to be able to use the
extra funding to provide more workshops, community art projects and cover
some of our personnel costs. We are also looking for ways to utilize this
new funding for the arts to be more predominate in upcoming, local events
such as Walnut Valley Festival's 50th Anniversary and Winfield's 150th
Birthday.
The Winfield Arts & Humanities
Council received a lot of support throughout the course of the pandemic,
and even though this grant will definitely aid in our recovery, we must
remind you, this is just a start. We will always rely on the community to
give us our mission, but it takes the generosity and love of our members
to give us hope in order to keep that mission alive. Thank you all for
everything you do.
