SALEM — The Oregon Arts Commission has awarded small grants to over 100 arts organizations statewide for fiscal year 2022, including many North Coast organizations.

This year’s recipients include the Astoria Arts and Movement Center, Astoria Visual Arts, Cannon Beach Arts Association, Cascadia Chamber Opera, Hoffman Center for the Arts and the Tolovana Arts Colony.

Awarded to arts organizations across the state, the grants are designed to provide support to arts organizations with budgets under $150,000.

Each organization received $2,178, slightly more than twice the amount awarded in 2021.

“This grant program was developed to increase the Arts Commission’s support of Oregon’s small but mighty arts providers,” said Jenny Green, chair of the Arts Commission. “These organizations frequently represent the only arts presenter for remote and underserved regions of the state.”
