OREGON - The city’s Art at Work program has won a $100,000 federal grant designed to use the arts to build community and strengthen neighborhoods. The one-year grant from National Endowment for the Arts will be used to fund a new initiative from Art at Work called “Meeting Place,” which will use “multidisciplinary arts projects” to tackle religious, ethnic and political divisions that exist in some city neighborhoods. Improving diversity within the city’s neighborhood associations is another key aim, said Marty Pottenger, director of Art at Work. [link]
