Arts and entertainment were the focal point as Emporia Community Foundation Celebrates announced its latest round of surprise grants Wednesday.
The Emporia Granada Theatre Alliance received $500 to help offset the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and also to partially cover costs of roof repairs needed since January. The Emporia Arts Council Fund’s $500 will be used for projects and programs unavailable through the Arts Center because of the pandemic last year.
So far, Emporia Community Foundation Celebrates has given $3,000 in surprise grants to mark the foundation’s 25th anniversary. It has $5,000 total to give away by Friday to foundation partners that were selected through a random draw.
