Neepawa’s ArtsForward received a pleasant surprise late last week. This was due to the announcement of the grant recipients for the Arts and Sport in Community Fund. The local arts and culture centre was among the 402 recipients and will be receiving a total of $25,000 for the purpose of renovating its kitchen.
Yvonne Sisley, administrator and director of programming for ArtsForward, told the Banner & Press on Mar. 20 that she truly felt shock and happiness when the announcement came down.
“We put this grant application in September of last year and, initially, it was supposed to be six weeks after the closure of the grant [to find out the results],” Sisley explained. “So it’s been kind of a ‘checking every couple of weeks to see if there’s been any word on it.’”
Sisley added, “We were pretty overjoyed. The kitchen has been needing some work and upgrading.”
