MARYLAND - Maryland's State Arts Council announced more than $24 million in grants to 364 nonprofit art institutions across the state.
The Maryland State Arts Council (MSAC) says the grants support regular operating costs at nonprofit art organizations. There were several organizations across Caroline, Dorchester, Talbot, Wicomico, Worcester, and Somerset counties receiving a total of over $1.9 million in grants.

Overall, grants were funded through MSAC's Grants for Organizations, Arts and Entertainment Districts, County Arts Development, and Folklife Network programs.
