We believe in supporting art in the community, and that’s why in 2008
we started a fund earmarked for arts–related grants. The money raised
at the Shadow Art Fair (from the two–cent admission fee, and the
special Shadow Brews, for instance) supply the grant fund, then we
make it available to local artists to help them with their awesome
ideas. For 2009, we had $1000 available. The Dreamland Theater is the recipient for this year's grant, which will fund their History of Ypsilanti puppet show project.
