NORWALK, CT — The Norwalk Art Space was recently awarded a Supporting Arts Grant in the amount of $4,799 and will use the funding to continue offering free art and music classes for local students.

According to a news release provided by the art space, this grant was made possible by the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development's Office of the Arts, which also receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

The Norwalk Art Space offers free high-quality art and music classes for local students, supports Connecticut artists, and provides a welcoming and vibrant arts hub for the community.

"We are so grateful for this funding, which will help to keep all classes free for students," Director of Operations Katy Sullivan said in a news release. "Our fall semester art students proudly displayed their artwork in a week-long exhibition early this month, and music students have been busy preparing for a public performance to cap off the semester. New classes for the spring semester will be announced in the last week of December."

The Norwalk Art Space is one of 232 organizations in Connecticut receiving Supporting Arts grants totaling $1,050,005.
