DCEA Grant Application Deadline Approaches
Darke County Endowment for the Arts annually grants funds to local
organizations, individuals and governmental units which apply for funds
to further the arts in our community; the deadline for applications to
be considered for funding is Friday, April 30. To be eligible to
receive funding, an applicant must be located in or provide services in
Darke County, Ohio. In the past, applicants who have been awarded
grants used the funds to assist presentation of art exhibits, musical
programs, or dance projects, and to provide special opportunities for
arts education. Other projects appropriate for consideration may
include innovative plans and programs that increase the quality and
stature of the arts, that increase accessibility to the arts for more
residents, that enable collaboration between arts groups, that provide
recognition of exceptional artistic achievements, and that provide for
the maintenance and development of art facilities.
Application forms may be obtained from Darke County Endowment for the
Arts, Inc. at www.SupportDCEA.org, as well as by stopping by the front
desk at Greenville Public Library, 520 Sycamore Street, or by sending
your request to Darke County Endowment for the Arts, P.O. Box 155,
Greenville, Ohio 45331. Completed applications may be submitted on
line, delivered to Greenville Public Library, or mailed to Darke County
Endowment for the Arts, Inc. at the address previously mentioned.
In addition to DCEA’s General Fund which provides monies for these
annual grants to deserving local artists and organizations, the
Endowment also maintains The Darke County Center for the Arts Fund
which underwrites the community arts council’s mission to present and
promote the arts to culturally enrich our community, as well as The
Memorial Hall Fund, dedicated to the preservation of historic Henry St.
Clair Memorial Hall as a performance hall and community arts center.
More information about how you can contribute to DCEA can be found at

of Trustees. Current members of the Board are Ted Abney, Antonia Baker,
Marilyn Delk, Ryan Dynes, Rebecca Hartnagle, and Andrea Jordan, and
