A lot is happening at the Bruce Montgomery Foundation for the Arts!
Last Sunday our Grants Committee met for personal interviews with ten extremely talented finalists in our Springboard Grants competition. Five exceptional winners were selected (two of whom will share one grant equally – but more about that later). Our winners include three instrumentalists, a singer, and a songwriter with an original movie score already on the big screen.
