About this Event
Our community has a rich heritage of art and culture, and we are making great strides that improve our quality of place and life. Together we can align arts and culture assets with community efforts and opportunities in ways that benefit residents, businesses, and visitors in our historic and dynamic Auglaize County.
Today is the start.

Our Town is the NEA’s creative placemaking grants program. Through project-based funding, the program supports activities that integrate arts, culture, and design into local efforts that strengthen communities over the long term. Our Town projects engage a wide range of local stakeholders in efforts to advance local economic, physical, and/or social outcomes in communities. Competitive projects are responsive to unique local conditions, develop meaningful and substantive engagement in communities, center equity, advance artful lives, and lay the groundwork for long-term systems change.
