We believe in supporting art in the community, and that’s why in 2008 we started a fund earmarked for arts-related grants. The money raised at the Shadow Art Fair (from the two-cent admission fee, and the special Shadow Brews, for instance) supply the grant fund, then we make it available to local artists to help them with their awesome ideas. For 2009, we had $1000 available. The Dreamland Theater is the recipient for this year’s grant, which will fund their History of Ypsilanti puppet show project. The next round of grant-giving will happen in 2010.
