Van Wezel Receives Vital Support Through Grant from Florida's Division of Cultural Affairs

The Giving Coast

The State of Florida’s Division of Cultural Affairs has awarded a grant to the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall for the 2021 Fiscal Year. The $48,316 grant will support main stage and educational programming at the theatre. “We are so grateful for this continued support from Florida’s Department of State at a time when it is needed most," says Executive Director Mary Bensel. "Many people do not realize that the Van Wezel, a city-owned facility, has not received much-needed PPP funding or other support from the CARES Act at this time."
