The Georgetown City Council approved of a grant application from the Georgetown Arts and Culture board at its June 12 meeting.
The GAC board will submit an application to the Texas Commission on the Arts for a Performance Support grant for Sue Foley, a Texas Touring Roster artist and musician, to perform at the inaugural South Main Arts Festival in October, according to city officials.
The grant will cover $2,250 in performance support to supplement the total contracted amount of $7,500.
If awarded, the GAC board will be responsible for the $5,250 balance of the artist contract. Funding for the contact balance will come from the arts and culture general fund, according to the city.
