Township approves application for $20,000 MACC grant to help fund centennial public art
Summary
Trustees authorized staff to submit a Michigan Arts and Cultural Council FY26 Experience Support grant application (maximum $20,000) to match $25,000 the township has already allocated for a centennial commemoration art project and related public programming.
At the Jan. 5 meeting the board voted to authorize submission of a Michigan Arts and Cultural Council (MACC) FY26 Experience Support grant application seeking the program's $20,000 maximum to complement a $25,000 township match for a centennial public-art project and community commemoration. Supervisor (speaker 2) said the money would help the art committee produce events and art tied to the township's hundredth-year commemoration.
Trustees asked whether the grant would allow funding for unveiling events and related programming; a trustee noted past MACC awards funded both art and community participation. "I do believe that we were the recipient of this award in the past, and it's actually what paid for the Westwasser art that was installed at West Wasser Park on the restrooms," a trustee said, noting earlier public events and community participation funded by the grant. The board approved moving forward with the application on a roll call vote; the application deadline is Jan. 22, 2026.
