N.J. State Council on the Arts postpones new applications for funding until 2014
The New Jersey State Council on the Arts has found a way to reduce the onslaught of paperwork from some 200 applications for new grants it expects to receive in February.
Put it all off for a year.
At a hastily called meeting in Trenton last Friday, the arts council voted to extend current general operating and general program grants for a year, thereby postponing new applications for funding until Fiscal Year 2014. Eight of the 17 council members attended the meeting, and another five connected by telephone. The resolution, the only item on the agenda, passed unanimously. (McGlone, The Star-Ledger)
