$300k Arts Capital Grant

$300K Arts Capital Grant

The Arts Council is thrilled to announce that we were recently awarded a $300k Arts Capital grant from the Maryland State Arts Council (MSAC) to support renovations at the Historic Circuit Courthouse in Ellicott City where we will be relocating to in 2025.

This funding will support the renovation and repurposing of two courtrooms into a flexible community black box theatre that will be available to local arts groups and presenters to rent through our facility rental program. This new location offers expanded parking, access to public transportation, and proximity to the thriving business community of Old Ellicott City.

MSAC’s Arts Capital grant program was made through legislation passed by the Maryland General Assembly in 2021 allocating $3,000,000 per year for five years (FY24-FY29) to be distributed as grants to eligible arts organizations. These funds, distributed through the Arts Capital grant, provide eligible organizations with state capital funding for projects that improve or produce a complete, usable, and accessible arts facility.
