(KNZA)--The Kansas Department of Commerce has awarded $75,000 in grant funding to support 12 public art projects in rural communities across the state---including Sabetha.
The announcement was made Wednesday.
The Sabetha Chamber of Commerce was awarded a $7,424 grant for a downtown mural designed to promote civic pride and enhance community aesthetics.
The funding is through the state Department of Commerce's Rural Mural Program. The program offers grants to communities under 15,000 in population to create public murals, activating vacant spaces, attracting tourists and fostering community pride.
The grants require a 100 percent match, with at least 25 percent in cash and the remainder in in-kind contributions.
