Art Grant Update!

Great news, Art Enthusiasts! The Art Department has been cooking up some spicy updates—no, not a late-night taco truck, but close! After an exhausting marathon of deliberation, research, rewrites, and some serious legal mumbo-jumbo, we've revamped the Art Grant Policy!
Here’s the scoop:

1. No More Waiting Game: Art Grant recipients will now get 100% of their funds upfront! That’s right—no more 50/50 split. You’ll still need to turn in your receipts by the end of October or face the dreaded “no-future-funding” penalty, but you won't have to front the costs and wait to be reimbursed. You're welcome!
   
2. Leads, You’re In!: Yes, you heard it right—leads can now apply for art grants too! We know you’re the masterminds behind the scenes and could use a little extra help bringing your art. Just a heads up: LLC, Batcave, and the Art Grant Committee are still out of the running due to conflicts of interest. But if you’re not in the money-distribution game, why shouldn’t you get a boost for your art?
   
3. Food’s In: We’ve decided to include food coverage in art grants! Because let’s face it—who doesn’t need a grilled cheese sandwich shoved in their face while volunteering? Creativity thrives on cheese and comfort!
   
4. Art Supplies, Not Infrastructure: We’re sticking to funding supplies for creating art, not infrastructure for theme camps or art cars. So, we still can’t fund a canopy or transportation, but we CAN fund art for it!!
