On Sept. 9, The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage announced 42 grants totaling more than $10.2 million to help the Philadelphia region’s arts sector overcome the effects of COVID-19.

Among the awards are 30 Re:imagining Recovery grants, designed to help arts organizations make critical changes to stabilize operations, rethink business and revenue models, develop new approaches to programming and public engagement practices, and deepen commitments to diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion.

Additionally, $900,000 of the funding went toward Pew fellowships, awarded to 12 local artists working in music, visual art, dance, theater, film, and poetry.
