PBPS Awarded UAC Grant

PBPS Awarded UAC Grant
In an effort to advance its priorities of serving a diverse community, teaching children through the arts, and positioning the city as a nationally recognized arts destination, the United Arts Council of Greater Greensboro recently changed its criteria for awarding grants.

The PBPS Board submitted a grant application, and we're excited to learn that we have received a $4,250 grant. We(along with six other nonprofits) have joined the ten arts organizations already funded by the UAC.

PBPS will use this grant to bring a nationally recognized Blues educator to Greensboro for a workshop with area teachers, and present four Blues in the Schools/Centers performances and a public concert. Through this experience area teachers will be enabled to integrate a course on the Blues into their music education. This will also help establish a tighter relationship between the PBPS and the Guilford County Schools and other area music educators.

We at the PBPS are proud to be recognized by the UAC as a viable arts nonprofit contributing to our community. Here’s hoping for lasting UAC partnerships with us and all of the new nonprofits receiving grants. BIG thanks to Jeannie Duncan and the UAC Board for expanding their assistance to Arts nonprofits in Gtown.
