The East Lansing Art Festival (ELAF) received a $12,000 grant from the State of Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs (MCACA) to help with costs associated with the 2009 festival.
The annual ELAF takes place in the spring and features more than 200 exhibiting artists, free live music, a hands-on children’s arts activity area, and an international food court.
The ELAF was one of more than 300 organizations that applied for the grant. Both in-state and out-of-state culture and arts professionals reviewed the applications.
MCACA grant recipients include organizations that advance the state’s creative, economic and cultural environments. Organizations that receive a MCACA grant must match the grant funds. The ELAF’s major sponsors include Ingham Regional Medical Center, Strathmore Development Company, Summit Community Bank, AP Capital, MagazineLine.com and CiesaDesign.
