With many donors cutting back contributions to the arts, the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities continues to fill gaps in the funding cycle. Of 258 grants awarded to local artists and non-profit arts organizations for fiscal year 2013, more than a dozen of the grant recipients are located in the DowntownDC BID area. Collectively, they will receive more than $550,000 of the $4.2 million set aside for 10 grant programs that DCCAH administers.
