$1M State Grant to Promote Arts and Culture in Atlantic City

"Atlantic City is a beautiful tapestry of arts, culture, and history.

This funding will preserve and celebrate the diverse communities that honor Atlantic City's past, present, and future."

So says New Jersey Gov.

Phil Murphy in announcing a $1 million grant to promote arts and culture in the city, the Press of Atlantic City reports.

"We do not do enough highlighting of the diverse cultural aspects of Atlantic City," Michael Cagno, executive director of Stockton University's Noyes Arts Garage, tells NJ.com.

"So, we want to create a central brand and umbrella to create that identity."

The grant, awarded to four community development corporations in the city, will be used to put up 40 wayfinding signs around the city, as well as to create a website and branding package.

"We work together already," Cagno tells NJ.com.

"Atlantic City is a beautiful tapestry of arts, culture, and history.

This funding will preserve and celebrate the diverse communities that honor Atlantic City's past, present, and future."
