Letter of Interest submitted to ArtPlace Hepford reported she submitted the Letter of Inquiry to ArtPlace, a national art granting organization. This is a preliminary step prior to the actual grant process. She will follow up to make sure it was received and also noted that the information in the Letter of Interest will serve as a spring board for grant applications. The next deadline is January 14, for an Our Town grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
