CBT launches new Public Art Grants program

The Columbia Basin Trust has launched a new program that will bring more artwork into communities around the Basin. Wayne Lundeberg, Strategic Adviser with the CBT says they’ve committed $750,000 over three years for projects like murals, sculptures and mosaics.

The deadline to apply is June 28th. There’s more information on the CBT’s website.
