A second round of Ohio Arts Economic Relief Program grants sends another $20.4 million to 104 organizations around the state. The ARPA funds are part of a $5.83-billion appropriations bill signed earlier this year.
About a quarter of the grants went to Cuyahoga County organizations, with the three largest awards of $1.5 million going to the Cleveland Museum of Art, Playhouse Square Foundation and the Cleveland Orchestra's nonprofit arm, the Musical Arts Association. The Cleveland Play House also received close to $1.1 million.
Awards to Cuyahoga County organizations total more than $7 million, which is more than one third of the grants for this round.
The first round of grants went out in May, with the largest award in Cuyahoga County - $1.5 million - going to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
The state has awarded more than $43 million of the $50 million in ARPA funding earmarked for the arts this year.
Groups in 33 counties received the most recent grants, which can be used toward salaries but also recruitment, training and operating costs.
