SEBRING - The Heartland Cultural Alliance is the designated Local Arts Agency for Highlands County and as such is authorized by state and county government to collect and distribute funding to local art and culture organizations.
The State of Florida Department of Transportation returns $20 to HCA for each Florida State of the Arts specialty license plate sold in Highlands County. This money is distributed through a HCA granting program to local not-for-profit organizations for funding art and culture related projects.
The HCA has awarded the following grants:
- Toby the Clown Foundation, Inc. - $500 for the American Clown School's classes and supplies; and
- The Children's Museum - $500 to supplement museum money to provide supplies for the Discovery Camp program planned for summer of 2013.
For more information on the granting program contact Fred Leavitt, 402-8238 or by email at info@heartlandcul
