Simpatico Receives PCA / PPA Project Stream Grant
Simpatico Theatre Project was the proud recipient of a Project Stream Grant through the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts’ and the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance’s Partners in the Arts program. This grant was awarded in support of Simpatico’s Fall 2010 production of David Mamet’s The Cryptogram which successfully raised awareness about critical issues concerning childhood development and the importance of healthy parent-child communication in the Philadelphia community. Simpatico was also featured along with four other organizations for embodying the spirit of the Project Stream program.
The Project Stream grants provide seed money to arts organizations offering innovative, community-based arts projects in southeastern Pennsylvania, and are made possible through the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts’ (PCA) Partners in the Arts program with additional support provided by PECO.
“The Cultural Alliance is proud to be a regional partner of the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts,” said Tom Kaiden, President of the Cultural Alliance. “These small-scale grants provide crucial funds for community-based organizations that are making art that is essential to the health and cultural vitality of our communities”
The Cultural Alliance’s Project Stream provides grants of up to $3,000 to eligible organizations and individuals conducting arts projects in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties. This year over eighty groups applied for the program. Simpatico Theatre Project received the maximum allotment, and was one of only six theatre organizations to receive support in southeastern PA.
