For the second consecutive year the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has awarded Artown $20,000, this time for the 2010 festival, one of only two grants awarded to Nevada-based organizations. As the nation’s largest funder of the arts, NEA’s one-year Access to Artistic Excellence grant helps Artown to bring a diverse array of arts and culture to Reno, Nev., through the entire month of July.
