Gettysburg, PA – October 18, 2022— The November 4 deadline for 2023 STAR Grant Applications is quickly approaching. Applications are available on the Adams County Arts Council (ACAC) website: www.adamsarts.org. Schools, non-profit organizations, and artists are eligible to apply for grants to fund projects that take place in Adams County, benefit an arts organization or artist based in Adams County, or benefit the public with an arts activity or event. The STAR Grant program (Serving the Arts Regionally) increases access to high-quality arts programs for Adams County citizens and visitors. Additional guidelines and eligibility details are included in the application instructions.

The Adams County Commissioners, Robert C. Hoffman Charitable Endowment Trust, and Borough of Gettysburg have committed to funding the program for 2023 as it enters its 24th year.
