The Norcross Splash Festivals’ Grant Program was established in 2015 to donate a significant portion of the profits from Norcross Art Splash for art and education in Norcross. In 2015 those funds helped with the production of the newly completed mural in downtown Norcross and other projects.
This year’s grants go to four groups. Gardens4GrowingCommunity Inc. will receive $650 for five “story poles” to be placed inside the circular garden bed at Summerour Middle School. Each pole, surrounded by herbs and flowers, represents a different country.
Norcross High School Foundation for Excellence Inc. will receive $1,168 for a multiplex display/exhibit system for AP/IB Portfolio students to display their artwork.
Norcross Discovery Garden Park was bestowed $2,000 to help purchase a circular arbor for the garden. Norcross committed to fund the balance of the project if the grant was awarded.
Kudzu Art Zone will receive $2,000 to provide art supplies for the “Unlock the Arts” summer camp.
