Senator Dawn Marie Addiego, Assemblyman Scott Rudder, and Assembly Chris Brown welcomed the announcement that the Burlington County Division of Cultural Affairs and Tourism will receive a grant for more than $80,000 through the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
“In this difficult economic environment, we are relieved that this badly needed funding will flow through the county and on to worthy organizations in our area. This funding will help assure that some deserving art programs will continue to flourish and provide cultural entertainment for our residents,” Addiego, Rudder and Brown said in a joint statement.
In the past, groups that benefited from the funding included: Burlington County Footlighters, the Bridge Players, the Center for the Arts of Southern New Jersey, Friends of Medford Cultural Arts, Mill Race Arts & Preservation, Whitesbog Preservation Trust, the South Jersey Pops, Golden Eagle Community Band, Philharmonic of Southern New Jersey, Servicios Latinos de Burlington County, and Moorestown Theater Company
