YSU's $100,000 NEA grant among largest in the nation
The National Endowment for the Arts has awarded Youngstown State University a $100,000 grant to launch a public arts project in Youngstown. The award is among the largest of 64 NEA Our Town grants – out of nearly 250 applicants across the nation – announced last month. The program supports creative projects to transform communities into places with the arts at their core. It is the largest grant that YSU has ever received from NEA.
