CT Humanities Grants
June 28, 2021I am excited to announce that legislature has passed a budget that allocates over $30 million to the Connecticut Humanities (CTH) over the next two years.
This funding assists the arts and culture industry as it recovers from the pandemic, provides support for upgrading technology and expanding digital programming and better connects K-12 students to the arts and humanities.
