The LCCHA received $1,000 from The Arts Commission this year. This funding is part of the American Rescue Plan Act money received by the City of Toledo and Lucas County that was created to provide support to local arts organizations and artists. The support will be used for outreach to the community and for cemetery art promotion. Thank you to these organizations, as well as our team, who worked diligently on the application for us to receive the funding. And thanks to the Toledo Photo Arts Club, for technical assistance.
