American Masterpieces: Three Centuries of Artistic Genius

The National Endowment for the Arts’ American Masterpieces: Three Centuries of Artistic Genius program was developed “to introduce Americans to the best of their cultural and artistic legacy through touring, local presentations and arts education programs that will reach all American people in the disciplines of dance, choral music, musical theater and visual arts.”

In addition to awarding funds to nonprofit arts organizations independently, a limited number of grants will be available to Maine arts organizations to develop projects that showcase American master works and have a wide statewide impact through a direct allocation to the Maine Arts Commission. Funds will be available for projects that take place between July 1, 2006, and June 30, 2007. For more information, contact:
