“The arts, history, and education all play a powerful role in shaping who we are as a community,” said Union County Commissioner Chairwoman Lourdes M.

Activities must take place between January 1 and December 31, 2026 to be considered for funding.
Applicants must be Union County residents or Union County based non-profit organizations with programs taking place in Union County. “Cultural assets are not only sources of pride, but also essential resources that enrich our quality of life and keep the spirit of Union County alive for future generations,” said Commissioner Bette Jane Kowalski, liaison to the Cultural and Heritage Advisory Board.
