A new grant program has been launched to help Fort Worth artists get back to creating, courtesy of Sasha and Edward P. Bass.
The $100,000 Sounds of Resilience competitive grant program was recently highlighted in a release on the City of Fort Worth’s website.
The program is looking for artistic works that portray the concept of resilience in an effort to not only get the local arts community back on its feet coming out of the crisis created by the response to COVID-19, but also to help foster “community healing and positive change, according to the release.
Entities involved in the project include Fine Line Group, the Alice L. Walton Foundation, the Tartaglino Richards Family Foundation and Bass Performance Hall.
The Sounds of Resilience program will fund work from 41 musicians and encourage reflection on recent experiences along with driving change and healing through music.
“There are so many powerful and accessible mediums through which our experiences in history are recorded,” Sasha Bass said in the release. “We knew music would be next.”
