Several Butler and Warren County organizations have benefited from $89,200 in Project Support Grants by the Fine Arts Fund.

Twenty-nine organizations will receive grants ranging from $700 to $8,500 for arts programming in the tri-state. Since its beginning in 1978, the Grants Program has awarded over $4.7 million to more than 350 regional art groups.

Among the area organizations:

• Acting Up, Young Performers Community Theater of Mason received $2,000 to purchase microphone sets for the upcoming performance of Annie Jr.

• Mason Community Players, Inc. received $700 to make the production of The Lion in Winter as authentic as possible by funding the musical accompaniment performed by Musici Anonymi a Consort, a group that specializes in medieval music.

• Miami Film Association received $4,000 for the 2009 Oxford International Film Festival, which will present over 100 new short and feature-length independent feature films from around the globe for four days this July.

• Project Support Grants are available to arts and non-arts organizations to fund arts programming.

• Any organization, regardless of budget size, not currently receiving an operating support grant, is eligible to apply for a Project Grant.

• Grant requests may not exceed 50 percent of the proposed project expenses.
