The Blowing Rock Art and History Museum recently received a NC CARES: Humanities Relief Grant from the North Carolina Humanities Council, www.nchumanities.org. Funding for NC CARES has been provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act economic stabilization plan.”
“We are grateful to be one of 59 organizations the North Carolina Humanities Council selected for this important funding. It will allow BRAHM to purchase a video camera and new computer for video editing. The museum has been closed since March 16th and we have not been able to offer our regularly scheduled programming or field trips to local schools. We are going to use the grant funds to purchase equipment so our staff can create virtual field trips for schools and virtual programs for our patrons." Said Willard Watson, BRAHM programs and outreach director.
