A $45,454.50 grant to The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield, awarded by Connecticut Humanities, will enable the museum to offset lost income due to Covid-19.
The grant, to the 57-year-old museum, one of the oldest contemporary art museums in the country, was awarded by CT Humanities, with funding provided by the Connecticut State Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD)/Connecticut Office of the Arts (COA) through an allocation to the state of Connecticut from the CARES Act.
“We are deeply grateful to CT Humanities”¦.During this incredibly challenging time, this support for some of our most essential expenses is truly extraordinary,” said Cybele Maylone, museum executive director.
Connecticut Humanities (CTH) is an independent, nonprofit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities connecting people to the humanities through grants, partnerships and collaborative programs.
