Hartford, CT - Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) announced a $20,000 grant from the National Endowment of the Arts to Real Art Ways in Hartford.

"Congratulations to Real Art Ways for receiving this $20,000 grant. Our cultural institutions have been hit particularly hard by this pandemic. The arts are a vital part of our society and they need our support in weathering this crisis. I will continue to fight for more relief for the arts in the First District and across the nation," said Larson.
