Cedar City Arts Council celebrates 10 years of mini-grants
The Cedar City Arts Council will celebrate its 10-year anniversary of awarding mini-grants July 10 at The Frontier Homestead Museum. Refreshments will be served, and the event is free and open to the public.
The organization sponsors networking socials for the community three times a year to encourage familiarity with some of the artists who live in Iron County. The events are meant to showcase and celebrate some of the artists who have received mini-grants from the Cedar City Arts Council and feature live music, art displays, and reports on the use that the recipients have made of their awarded funds.
The summer social will feature Rebecca Shelley from the Escalante Arts Council and the Nutcracker Ballet.
“The newly-minted Escalante Valley Arts Council set the formidable goal of producing ‘The Nutcracker’ this Christmas season and then saw to it,” said Mary Anne Andersen, referring to last year’s production of the ballet “The Nutcracker” in Beryl. “The result was so heartwarming and charming that I will never forget it. The Cedar City Arts Council provided funding to help with the building rental for the project, and we have invited some of the students to come perform.”
Jackie Jackson will present on the impact of the Cedar City Arts Council’s mini-grants on the establishment of In Jubilo. The group will also perform at the event. Carla Carpenter, a harpist, will perform a piece at the social. An art display will be presented by Blaine DeMille, a local painter specializing in desert scenes, still life, and portraiture. The Sagebrush Fiber Artists will display some of their fiber-art pieces at the event.
The Frontier Homestead Museum is located at 635 N. Main St. in Cedar City.
