Union County Awards 58 “HEART” Grants

(UNION COUNTY, NJ) -- The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders has announced a list of 58 artists, historians and local non-profit organizations who will receive funding through the 2016 Union County HEART grant program.

“This year’s HEART grants recipients are a dynamic mix of creative composers and writers, historians, visual artists, musicians and dancers along with arts, history and cultural organizations and civic groups,” said Freeholder Chairman Bruce H. Bergen. “We are looking forward to another successful year for this popular grant program.”

The HEART (History, Education, Arts Reaching Thousands) grant program recognizes the importance of culture and the arts for economic development and quality of life. It was established by the Freeholder Board in 1998 to support programming that connects Union County residents with innovative projects related to history, the arts and humanities.

Participation in HEART has grown steadily since its inception. The 2016 roster of 58 awardees is the largest group in the program’s history.

“Over the years, our HEART grant recipients have enriched and inspired thousands of Union County residents,” said Freeholder Bette Jane Kowalski, the liaison to the Cultural and Heritage Affairs Advisory Board. “Our HEART grant artists are constantly surprising us with their talent and commitment to making art accessible to our many and diverse communities of all ages.”
