Art is widely regarded as a key component to making a downtown district, and an overall community, vibrant. It's a theory Mt. Clemens is adhering to as its Anton Art Center starts accepting applications for mini grants to assist local arts projects.

The mini grants will pay for student art, art exhibits, film, readings, performances, art workshops and restoring public art. The Anton Art Center is teaming up with the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs to offer the grants.

"It really helps us support the arts and culture center of the county," says Arthur Mullen, executive director of the Mt. Clemens Downtown Development Authority.

Although the deadline for the grant applications is set for Feb. 1, a grant writing workshop will be held at 6 p.m. Dec. 8 at the Anton Art center, 125 Macomb Place.
