Organization Grants

The purpose of the Medina County Arts Council (MCAC) Organization Grants is to provide Medina County with an enhanced and broadened cultural life. MCAC encourages and stimulates the practice and appreciation of the arts in Medina County and provides the people of Medina County with opportunities to participate in, experience, and enjoy the arts. One of MCAC’s role is to assist and support existing groups and individuals who are engaged in efforts designed to enhance the arts. MCAC provides this assistance through advocating for, supporting and nurturing the arts.
