The funding is awarded through Art Works, the Endowment\u2019s principal grantmaking program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese awards reach every corner of the United States, and are a testament to the artistic richness and diversity in our country,\u201d said Arts Endowment chairwoman Carter. \u201cOrganizations such as Copland House are giving people throughout Westchester County, metro New York, and the nation the opportunity to learn, create, and be inspired.\u201d The Arts Endowment has approved more than $80 million in grants this spring, as part of its second major funding announcement for fiscal year 2019. The Agency received 1,592 Art Works applications for this round of grantmaking, and is awarding 977 grants in this category.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very proud and grateful,\u201d said Copland House\u2019s Artistic and Executive Director Michael Boriskin, \u201cthat the NEA is again supporting our programs that champion American music, and our efforts to share and enhance this dynamic legacy. This award affirms Copland House\u2019s ongoing commitment to artistic excellence, imaginative programming, and efforts to connect on multiple levels with our diverse communities.\u201d NEA funds will support concerts and educational activities by the internationally-acclaimed Music from Copland House ensemble, which will bring 150 years of American composers and their work to a diverse audience ranging widely from children to seniors throughout Westchester County.<\/p>\n<p>Inaugurated in 1998, Copland House is the only composer&#8217;s home in the U.S. devoted to nurturing and renewing America&#8217;s rich cultural heritage through a broad array of musical, public, educational, and informational activities, and to fostering greater public awareness and appreciation of our nation&#8217;s composers and their work. Music from Copland House is engaged by major concert presenters across North America, and has been hailed by <em>The Chicago Tribune <\/em>for its \u201cvital performances by excellent musicians.\u201d <em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For more information on this National Endowment for the Arts grant announcement, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arts.gov\/news\">arts.gov\/news<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coplandhouse.org\">coplandhouse.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"># # #<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, please CONTACTS: Elizabeth Dworkin, Dworkin &amp; Company, elizabeth@dworkincompany.com Tammy Moore, Dworkin &amp; Company, tammy@dworkincompany.com &nbsp; Copland House Receives National Endowment for the Arts Grant $15,000 Award To Support Public Programming in Westchester \u00a0 Cortlandt Manor, NY \u2013 National Endowment for the Arts Acting Chairwoman Mary Anne Carter announces today that [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"related-artist":[18],"class_list":{"0":"post-2431","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"related-artist-music-from-copland-house","8":"entry","9":"has-post-thumbnail"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dworkincompany.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dworkincompany.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dworkincompany.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dworkincompany.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dworkincompany.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2431"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dworkincompany.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2431\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2436,"href":"https:\/\/dworkincompany.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2431\/revisions\/2436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dworkincompany.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dworkincompany.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dworkincompany.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2431"},{"taxonomy":"related-artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dworkincompany.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/related-artist?post=2431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
