Grants support the arts

WASHINGTON - Dozens of orchestras across the nation can keep playing for now, kept in tune by federal stimulus dollars aimed at saving jobs.
The League of American Orchestras said this week that the National Endowment for the Arts has awarded 64 orchestras one-time grants of $25,000 or $50,000 to preserve administrative and artistic jobs at risk of being eliminated amid the recession.
Earlier this week, the NEA said it is awarding grants to 113 musical groups across the country. Recipients have up to one year to complete their projects and request their funds, NEA spokeswoman Victoria Hutter said.
