State Representative Dan Fox (D-Stamford) welcomed grants for the city of Stamford from the Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD). Stamford received six grants totaling $52,720. A total of $3.15 million was distributed to 57 cities and towns through DECD’s Connecticut Office of the Arts and the State Historic Preservation Office.

“It is critical to support the cultural, artistic and historic preservation organizations so that they can achieve their goals and continue to add to Connecticut’s economic vitality and quality of life,” said Rep. Fox. “I’m pleased DECD included many Stamford groups.”

The six groups in Stamford who received grants are:

The Ballet School of Stamford $7,103
Connecticut Ballet, Inc. $9,943
Curtain Call $11,970
Pro Arte Chamber Singers of CT, Inc. $4,320
Stamford Symphony Orchestra $15,796
Stamford Young Artists Philharmonic $3,588

The grant program was designed to strengthen Connecticut’s arts infrastructure by offering funding to arts organizations that have consistently provided quality public programming.

Rep. Fox is in his first term serving the 148th House District in Stamford.
