Listen "Cultural Alliance: Good to Great Grants in Fairfield County"
Episode Synopsis
Host: David Green
Our July "Spotlight" shined a light on 9 quite different organizations in our region who received the highly competitive "Good to Great" grant, jointly administered by the CT Office of the Arts and CT Humanities, designed to help transform the visitor experience at their institutions. The grant is awarded to "organizations of all sizes who demonstrate deep thinking about who they are as organizations, and what they could be if granted access to capital funding." We thought this was a great opportunity to spotlight these organizations, the work they do, and how they will be using their grants to transform their organizations. Our guests were: • Cybele Maylone, Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield • Peter Gistelinck, Avon Theatre Film Center, Stamford • Kathy Maher, Barnum Museum, Bridgeport • Tracy Kay, Bartlett Arboretum & Gardens, Stamford • Howard Lasser, Brookfield Craft Center, Brookfield • Hilary Wittmann, Carriage Barn Arts Center, New Canaan • Clare Murray, cARTie, Shelton • Maggie Dimock, Greenwich Historical Society, Greenwich • Steve di Costanzo, WPKN, Bridgeport
